Hi Forum,

I am looking at this buckle. It is sold by the Voldemort of Russian dealers.
Does this look like an unmessed buckle? This RZM code for Richard Sieper has been faked a lot I read.
Many thanks.

Thank you Ben for your comments. It is ground dug from Demyansk pocket according to dealer. I am considering to buy this. Many forum members dislike the dealer because of selling rubbish so I thought to double check it.

Also for me an original ground find.

The finder better should sell them uncleaned or practice on less valuable objects.
Anyway it's still a nice one.
