Thinking of buying this, looks good to me, but the stampings are off center. All I have seen are straight, and am new so this is a first post. Glad I found this threasure trove of super info, thanks!

Hi Rander,
Welcome to the forum. My gut I am not so keen on this one. Wait for Ben, Markus and other trusted buckle guys to weigh in as well. I can't see the prongs as they are blurry but they seem to be cut oddly and angles outward. Maybe a 60's repro here. Makers Mark, RZM and SS runes don't look proper to me but I may be totally off base there. Not real sure about overall finish on this one either. Those are my thoughts but I would certainly wait on others to chime in with more review before you do anything either way. Cheers!

Hello Rander and welcome to the forum, as the guys have stated buckle is bad mate, look through the fake SS buckles there are more in there
Ben
Thanks Ron, Looks like there are more repros now than originals
Thanks, that gives me a reference to watch out for in the future, much appreciated.
Yes Rander there are a lot of fakes.
Just follow Ben his advice and you will be suprised, I did the same.
And I purchased the following book:
