What do you think of these buckles?

I have the chance to buy these two buckles, and was wondering if they were genuine, or clever repros. Thanks.

The SS buckle is the old Tony Oliver copy from the 1970's. As I have mentioned before, any SS item with SS runes inside a diamond is FAKE. Tony put his initials on this buckle and his phone number Now known as the "olt" fake.

Cheers, Ade.

Save your money, The SS one has the runes in a diamond. That never was the case on originals OLT and the numbers are Tony Oliver, and his phone number
Made in the 70's now ageing nicely

The SA is also bad

You beat me again Ade

[Adrian Stevenson]

It is funny how these buckles still come up again and again.

Cheers, Ade.

Out of morbid curiosity, what's the asking price on these buckles?

What about the SA buckle? Is it ok? OOPS! I see John answered that, too. Thanks guys! I must say that SS buckle has aged nicely. I won't forget the Diamond SS...

Cannot agree with John on the nickle silver SA.

Appears to be a 100% original "Overhoff".

A well known design and method of construction.

Is this the same SA and also, are these the same markings and catch (shown here on an Overhoff DJ) ?
