DRK Red Cross Officers Buckle - Good looking... Fake?

[deltaspecialforce]

Hey all. This looks good and as far as I can tell matches the other period examples I can find online. Any red flags that jump out? Thanks for your help!

I will find you a thread on these, I bought one and it turned out to be a new series of fakes, let me try and find it

[Ben Evans]

This is the thread in question and from the looks of it the one you have shown is a fake

I will have a good look and compare both later

Looking at the size of the "1" on your buckle I believe it is indeed a fake
