Genuine SS Buckles are still around (one just need to know differences between original and fakes to prevent buying the second kind), and shown here is an early SS EM Buckle made by Overhoff before the RZM period. Made in Nickel Silver, this buckle is in stone mint condition with 100% of its protective dull silver paint. Find early SS Buckles with remnant of their paint is very rare since usually totally gone due to poor adherence of the paint on the nickel silver.
This buckle was purchased from the internet the week before last and paid $170 including various fees and shipping expenses.
Points of interest to avoid buying some reproductions of this kind of buckle:
- Check closely the eagle design, especially its head
- Notice catch position
- Notice how prongs are and in which metal
- Notice very sharp details even considering the paint is covering/fading some.
This marking is the most common of all the early Overhoff's SS EM Buckles. And within this marking, buckles marked with separated sch. are the most common.
