Hello. Can anyone identify the maker of this buckle? I'm not sure if it is a good one or not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards,Darrick

I don't know the maker, but I have no problem for your buckle.

Many thanks.

As I thought, exactly the same buckle which actually appears within a well known buckle reference work.

Personally, I think that it is fake.

David, I don't feel it is any good either. I've never felt comfortable with it. I've never seen such a lame maker mark stamp either. Not that that didn't happen from time to time though. I also don't like that bolt sticking through. Thanks for the help. Regards,Darrick

Quite agree with David, the buckle is not original in my opinion.
Pics of the same buckle, not aged, tell all.

Nice looking fake, prongs look funny as does the maker mark and the rivet.
