when looking at the back of the last buckle said to be an overhoff. they are a stamped steel buckle. is it just my eyes that makes the right side of the inner wreath close to the swastica, look raised on the right side, with no detail, but stamped in on the left? and a small flaw in the right side outer rope stamping ? i have had an aluminum overhoff, and still have one in nickle. there detail is very nice, front and back. so may be its just my eyes ?

Dies used to manufacture nickel silver buckles were different than the ones used to stamp aluminum ones which were in turn different than the ones used to stamp steel buckles. Furthermore many different dies were used by the same company within the same time frame (nickel silver period, aluminum period, steel period, etc...). So flaws, defects and other particularities of a given buckle could be used to relate to another buckle within the same serie but not over all the period of production of a maker.
