DLV or a fake

[Gwar]

I recently bought a supposed Rad buckle by "Binder" as advertised , it was mis marked as a DLV..
And I received a DLV belt and buckle that was not even close to the mark... The belt has been spray painted orange and the buckle is questionable.. Any help will be greatly appreciated... I am going to send it back as they charged a $400.00 price tag.
If I avail no satisfaction I will promptly give up the name of the seller.. This is rubbish..

Mate at that price send it back whatever, looks like it might have been renazified if it is original, will have a good look later as just going to work

I believe buckle is okay and an Assmann model DLV. Other than Swastika in wreath being a little messed up don't believe you have a fake but the Swaz per Ben is not good. I would see what others think and for sure have Markus and Ben weigh in. Good luck bro!

Below are some other links for comparison...Ben noticed the Swaz is a little wonky as well.

Certainly not the Binder RAD set like in the dealer photos.

Hello,

@Gwar , give it back

It seems to me the price is way out of line even if it was a mint RAD tabbed Binder with a nice belt.

Kirby, as collectors we have "ALL" I think, paid a little more for something we really wanted... Some collectors may wait years or a lifetime and still not receive the "Bargain" price... I, myself strike when the iron is hot !! G
