ALUMINUM BUCKLES SS Original or copy?

[Huddy]

thanks, excellent observation. I could never get the true dimensions of this manufacturer

99.9% of dimensions you will find posted in various Forums were posted by myself or were just a copy/paste of them. Since I do not recall having ever posted all or any 822's I am not surprised. But keep in mind those are from MINT (absolutely new buckles barely worn). For heavy worn / relic buckles you should allow some minor variations since aluminum is not very a very resistant metal.

[Huddy]

Yes you are right! it is a variant of 64.63x 48.31

[Jean Pierre Redeuilh]

So, now that you also know it, compare it again to those other 822's you previously used. Any other shorter by 1 mm or more is just a cast fake.

Keep in mind this is for Type 2. Type 1 is smaller but so far there is no reproduction of it
