Help Identifying Belt Buckle found in Garbage!

**GIZMO8Z** · 03-22-2012, 11:44 PM

Hello, all!

It has been an exhilarating day for me! I found both this belt buckle AND a Japanese Type 38 rifle in the trash!

I am doubting whether or not this buckle is authentic. I must admit that I've never owned or handled a TR belt buckle... I find the lack of markings a little worrying.

If possible, a valuation would be greatly appreciated. It's always nice to know how much someone elses garbage is worth!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION!

Its an S.A. buckle Joe. I shall let others with more knowledge in this field comment as to the authenticity.

I'm a rookie with buckles bigtime but it looks pretty convincing.....

You sir, are one lucky SOB

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I am still not very optimistic about this buckle... it doesn't seem to match anything in the SA belt buckle stickies...
