SA Buckle - Fake ? or Real ?

[tudorw]

Hi, this SA buckle has been in my drawer since the 1970's. The metal is either nickel or steel and is strongly magnetic. I felt it may be a repro, but, is it ? Your opinions would be appreciated

John, Does the thumbs up mean that you like the post or that the buckle is an authentic original SA buckle. Thanks for your speedy response !

Your buckle is a nice original.
Silvered SA/ NSKK buckles are less common against to the yellow ones and especially this magnetic (nickle over steel) variant from Overhoff is quite hard to find. So a little gem.

Thanks, Guido, I did not display this buckle because of the possibility of it being a repro. Now it will come out of the drawer.

You have a very nice original buckle. Back in the 70's some dealers thought any SA/NSKK buckle with marking was Fake. They didn't know the facts. I remember buying a buckle and the dealer and he covered the markings with his price tag,
