ss buckle 36-40

[josef]

hi i have a question is this buckle original, i don't like the inside, it looks like it was cast thank you josef

[Ben Evans]

A lot of cast flaws or could it be ground dug!!! Can you get a picture of the prongs?

[josef]

unfortunately I can no longer get a picture of the tip, but I have never seen anything dug in such a nice condition

[Austrian]

The photos are too bad, but it could be a ground find.

A lot of ground find buckles are in much better condition!
When the ground is very good you even can't spot them as excavated.

[josef]

so i still asked and yes you are right the buckle is really dug out

[Ben Evans]

So if ground dug you have answered your own question, the buckle will be original?

[josef]

yes, but i didn't dig it up and i wasn't even there buckle was offered to me

[Ben Evans]

yes, but i didn't dig it up and i wasn't even there buckle was offered to me

So for me pics of the prongs would tell if original or not due to the condition of the buckle, for me I would leave it alone
