Fake belt buckles??

[AndyM35]

Hello Gents,

I'm posting these items for opinion on behalf of a friend who recently purchased them. My experience is very limited with regards to belt buckles as I'm more of a helmet collector. To my mind when compaired to the real item, these buckles lack any fine details and the prongs appear to have had the ends cut off with tin snips. They are being sold out of Poland for $50 and the only comment the seller ads is "Historical items". I'm sure you have seen these before.

Any help would be great received.

Thank you,
Andrew

Thanks for the quick reply Gunny. Hoping my friend can get his money back. I will post the sellers details on here tomorrow if permitted?

Yes these were made in Poland in the past couple of years ,they can be brought there for 20 euros each

Another vote for Polish production - on ebay all the time.

Bad to the bone, the worse fakes on the market!

20 euros is still a rip off.
