Is it magnetic ? I don't like this one, it is very reminiscent of the fakes currently being sold, wait for other opinions, G

You can see the heat spots on the front of the buckle where the catch was applied/reapplied. Could be indicative of a recent repair rather than a sign of a fake, but I don’t collect buckles, so can’t comment further.

I agree somewhat B.B., the arrow indicates the weldment 'Circle' we sometimes see on the modern fakes, like this, although, I have been wrong before, G

A very old fake.

Look at the detail on the front of the buckle, look at the prongs, looks at the ears and crimp, buckle is fake
