My 1st Luftwaffe Buckle.... Real deal?
Good evening,
I picked this up with a few other items recently and would like to get some expert opinions. I perused the "Fakes" threads, but I am overwhelmed at the excessive amount of fakes out there. So, I figured it best to list it here. Let me know if you need additional photos. Thank you.
Hello and welcome, buckle is fine, late war Assmann made buckle

Nice one!Welcome and enjoy your stay.
Thank you all. I will post some additional pictures soon. I am having a difficult time getting a high quality close-up.
Here are the add'l pics you requested. I hope they are sufficient. Thank you.

I am now, for me this is a late war Assmann Luft. Typical late war this catch, these thin catches can also be found on the late war Heer buckles. Typical late war Assmann prongs. The front pic of the eagle did initially trouble me but if you look at the later pic you can see the wear on the eagle and if you look closely you can see the detailing to the head of the eagle. If you think otherwise can you tell us why so we can all learn?
Cheers

I always wonder when it is said "typical this, typical that".
Who knows Assmann just manufactured the prongs and roll
and the buckle is from another company, unmarked.
I know also Overhoff made these seperate parts for other
companies. Therefore my "typical this, typical that"!
In many occasions buckles were not put together by one
and the same company, but aids (Hilfsbetriebe) were involved
in doing this!
