very nice hj buckle.

Hi Rob, thank you for the info!

I found it always interesting that Cramer used this additional copper coating on steel buckles. And indeed some makers wich coated their steel buckles directly with nickle had quality problems. For instance, I have a nickel over steel HJ by Overhoff in my collection with bubbles under the surface.

Regards,
