Been offered two LW buckle

[Guido L.]

Sorry, I have some stomach pains with these buckles!

Did you checked the measures of the buckles? The best way is you compare these with an original aluminium buckle, if possible.

Here is two more pics of the CTD buckle

Well, by those pics I would say the buckle tabbed is original, but obviously I can't say nothing about tab .
About the buckle C.T.D. marked all my doubts remain
Anyway I would pass on....

Best

Hi again

I have now pick up both buckles on my way home.
Took some more pics and the CTD buckle is smaller than buckle no2.

I also post some pics on the leather tab of the buckle no2.
It dont look like a original tab for me.
No marker marks at all.

I still believe No 2 to be original, the tab is not original to the buckle, it has been put on separate, it could be an original tab that has been cut down.

I have a steel buckle with a leather tab and with good marking.
Post two pics of it.

I think that it should look like this even if its a aluminium buckle, right ?

I think both buckles are original but as said, there is no way that leather tab is original to that one buckle in particular. It has been recently resewn, and it is very obvious.

Andy,

you are right, the leather tab is for sure restitched and probably not original.
Nothing to add about the buckle C.T.D. marked : IMO a molded fake

Nothing wrong with the LW buckle by Brueder Schneider, a very nice one.
