As already having been confirmed - all fake I am afraid.

The SS and the HJ buckles stick out like the proverbial sore thumb, although the Wehrmacht-Heer buckle is interesting.

In my opinion, this S.H.u.Co. fake, purporting to be by Heubach, is seldom seen.

I would imagine that some of the chaps who specialise in Wehrmacht-Heer buckles would like to see detailed images.

I've a Original Sohni in my collection , a ground dug found in Schleswig Holstein in a former POW camp (there I've found a lot of buckles)
Look at the makers mark it is written in a half circle not straight like the fake makers mark.

The front side...compare the eagle..I think you'll find a lot of differences.

[musketeer]

I am afraid this one is being faked big time and yours is one of them. If I was at home I would also post my original for you also as comparison.
