Hi Paul,

that buckle is 100 % fake . Unfortunately this kind of fake did fool many collectors and reputable dealers and of course auction experts...

Hello to all who have helped and to those who have been watching this thread .. the dealer in question has replied to my e-mail and has asked me to ship the buckle back to him for a refund ..

there are some really honest dealers out there that some times do make mistakes ..

Everybody can make mistakes, but not everybody are available to recognize them.......a serious Forum may be of some help

Yes, definately bad I agree....serious collectors should study the image as it is actually one of the better copies of a steel SS, Johnny
