Heer buckles for opinions

[Gwar]

Hello guys.. I just wanted to get a second opinion on these buckles..
The first is a Overhoff & Cie, Ludenshied Heer..
The second is a Shuco.. Sonni Heubach & Co.
I have a few theories... I will keep them to myself until others post... Thanks

Compare these to the Rogue's Gallery, I believe you will find matching entries. Both appear to be bad to me.

See specifically post #3 and post #27 in the sticky thread for Heer fakes.

roger9344.. Yes i believe you are right.. My instinct says that the OLC is indeed a fake and that the SHuco is a molded cast fake as well.. thank you for your reply... I hate saying fake until others concour..

Have you got any more pics of the 1st buckle? Looks to me like a very late war Heer buckle, there is a very rare SS buckle with the same marking, the SHUCO is indeed a fake

I have the opportunity to buy the OLC at a very reasonable price..
It just resembled a fake in a thread.. The dealer claims it is late war.. I have been trying to do my homework honestly..

Try and compare the eagles head, especially the rear of the head, also the lettering and the ears to the rear

I wil do so Ben.. Thanks..

I agree with Ben: the Overhoff buckle is original, the Shuco is a molded fake
This Overhoff is from my collection

Beautiful. I stand corrected. Nice buckles, gentlemen.
