I must admit that I did not even know that it existed a M4/23 copy. I just missed a M4/23 for a very good price on a dealer site, so I was at first disappointed but when I checked closer at the buckle it looked strange. Then I found this pictures on another forum.
So I compared... the buckle I missed was a fake
Here is the pictures for you that doesnt have seen it before..
In the last week I ran into two versions of these fake HJ buckles with Matthias Salcher & Söhne logo dated 40 markings in steel (one with silver paint). Photographs attached. There are a few differences so adding pics of both pieces. Moderators feel for to revise if this is redundant. These were both being sold as original examples.
Another reproduction HJ listed recently for sale with a Facebook group. RZM Ges. Gesch. marked in steel. Only pics that were provided.
Interesting fake made from a post war buckle with an added DJ rune. You see these buckles on eBay and I am sure there are others with add on insignia. This was nicely done and could fool some collectors.
