    SA straiht wings

    Hello to ....
    A beauty.
    Something to share.
    This is a ground dug SA. Not from a battelfield ( )
    No, from a back yard near cologne.
    60 years in the ground and the rivet "works".

    Thanks to David for posting the images

                  How cool! 60 years and it still looks pretty good! I wouldn't clean any part of that buckle. Make sure you leave the dirt in there just where it is! Adds so much character to the buckle. I'd love to have something like that!

                  Great find!

                    A "beauty" indeed.

                    A super rare SA and probably by Overhoff.

                    In my opinion, just an SA and despite the very distinct horizontal form wings and by their presence, the buckle sometimes being given an erroneous SS association.

                    Unlike Rob, I would afford this buckle a light clean.

                    Regards,

                    David

                        Hello David and Rob,
                        cleaning ? Yes, but how without
                        destroy the patina?
                        Any kind of know how?
                        Ultrasonic?
                        regards

                          Can't help you with the cleaning tips...sorry... A previously stated, I would leave it as is (as per personal prefference)...I think the dirt in the crevices gives it soooo much character. It will always be a ground dug buckle; cleaning it won't change that- IMO leaving the dirt gives it almost more legitimacy! Just my opinion. Good luck with it....it's a nice buckle for sure!Rob

                            Hello to ...
                            I did it.
                            Ultrasonic didnot work.
                            Vinegar works.
