Nevermind it just appeared lol (picture was not there when I viewed it)
It is interesting, can you post another picture at an angle to show how the steel is inlayed thanks

Very nice and rare steel back, this chap had some colection!

First thread I have loaded from my phone. Hope it looks good. I will get the other shot when I get home. The steel back makes this buckle weigh at least twice as much as a normal SA.

What an odd and bizarre construction. Did they worry about the brass not holding up and being strong enough, that they felt it needed to add the large steel backplate? Of course, it does contain the catch, but you would have thought it simpler and cheaper to just touch weld on a loop.

These new phones are great. I found an infantry assault badge at a show last week. I'm not a badge guy but I just searched WFA for a IAB marked CW. Did a side by side comparison and it was a good . It's great having the forums at your finger tips.
