Another "Assmann" RZM 155/43 for review.

Gents

Only got two pictures of this one, I believe it to be marked "RZM 155/43" and am awaiting a pic of the maker's mark.
But I think it's a fake, just wanted to be sure. Either that, or they've been breeding as there have been so many around lately.

Regards

Adrian

Here's the maker's mark, pretty sure this is a wrong'un.

It is indeed a fake

Ben is right of course.
A well made but also well known fake series.

Thanks gents. I still have to get my eye in with these, and learn to spot the little "give aways". I must admit that the buckle above is a pretty good copy of an original, and it's only by comparing it with a known fake and known original side-by-side that I can even begin to guess if it's a bad one or not. I learn. I see that one of the most active contributors to this forum has stated that he will not be writing a book on SS belt buckles, so can anyone suggest a good reference book?
