SS Buckle recent purchase need info

**soalebm** · 01-24-2009, 05:37 PM

I just got this SS buckle. I have seen them before but know little about this particular example. In fact I have never seen a picture of anything except this buckle's front so I don't know if this is a common RZM mark inside this style of moulded buckle or not. It could be a fake but the US GI items I bought along with it were 100% original. The moths had destroyed everything and the guy didn't know it was German but he wasn't the original owner. If you could tell me what SS buckle this is and if it looks fishy to you.

Thanks,
Brandon

Brandon, firstly welcome to the forum, now for the bad news, the buckle is a fake

Not at all please do. I only spent $10 on it and I got an 82nd airborne newspaper from the surrender of Italy so I didn't loose much. What is this style buckle and why is it a fake?
