    Gents, I have a bit of time so will start trying to do the original v fakes for the aluminium SS buckles. Lets start off with the 36/40. The metal on the fake is too dark (modern ones are getting better) Its been hard for the fakers to reproduce the white aluminium of the period buckles. As the fakes are cast there are cast flaws, these are a big giveaway. Also remnants of the original silver wash as found on originals which the fakes do not have. There are other ones which I do not wish to give away. Compare the orginals to the fakes and try and digest the slight differences

    This is an area of collecting with a steep learning curve that requires a collectors undivided attention. Thanks for posting these in detail. I hope to see more examples.
