Hi there, do you know the maker?, It looks like a Overhoff one, are the pongs original or have they been replaced at some time?

Indeed. It exists unmarked struck with the exact same die.

Hi Jean, is it an Overhoff make?

Another views. Sorry for the blurring, the photographer is a little bad (like its English) :

I have seen this very same prong and sleeve on an early nickel HJ..the one I am thinking of even had the little wrapped wire you see on this on..let me see if I can find it, it may have a maker mark on it...Chad

I couldt find the one I was thinking of, and dont mean to hyjack this SS thread , but this buckle also has the brass prong and sleeve with the flat top staple catch and is a mystery to me.. it appears to be marked M4/103 for Rudolph Schanes ??? I would love some feedback on this... also was the brass staple cathc (with a flat top ) a common trait multiple makers used??? Chad

Hi Jean, is it an Overhoff make?

Don't know yet but could be.

had the little wrapped wire you see on this

This was a common technique helping to date the buckle manufacture. A buckle with such "little wire" remaining was indeed produced no later than the early 30's.

Thanks for that Chad
