Hello,

it makes me a little bit ill .

The prongs , the Case and the unclean made roundel . Also the solderpoints .

Didier, I personally do not like it, I agree with Markus about the prongs, and solder points

To be honest, these were my first thoughts too. But I was hesitant to post as this item is really outside my area of interest/expertise.

Cheers, Ade.

Yes....sorry....this is a reproduction buckle. Everything about this buckle's backside points to that: prongs, solder points....

I agree. This is a fake buckle. Also often seen w/three solder points. With that said I am showing my Weimar period Marine buckles including two thart are steel smooth faced painted buckles which are ewither marine or possibly Coastal Artillery. Please not the two piece WWI box with a brass rondel attached. I believe this is a good Marine buckle using an excess WWI body. Also note the last buckle which is a one piece, gilded, nickle-silver buckle. Sorry about the line up of the photos. The nickel-silver reverse photo is under the reverse photo of the two piece WWI body. .Comments are welcome.
