i would love to hear your opinions on these two. where are the buckle Gods???

Things have been a little slow around here lately, and people have probably been busy with other things, and focused on the upcoming S.O.S. a few short weeks away.
From my experience collecting buckles, I know that most collectors would say they are o.k., and a few collectors would be nervous and say they have an excess of solder/sloppiness on the solder points. The Wurttemburg buckle is apparently missing solder in the lower hole which is not usually seen that way. The solder appears old; maybe the worker on each buckle was having a bad day. It's interesting how the Wurttemburg buckle is also worn down on the wearer's right side rope border of the center disk.
I'm still on the fence with the center disk of the Bavarian buckle, whether they actually used an oak leaf wreath at the center lower ring of the disk. I have a repro Bavarian buckle that has the same center disk with an oak leaf wreath.
Hopefully some others will chime in on them.
