Hello Antony,

and welcome to the "Belts and Buckles Forum".
I would say we have bad and good news there : the buckle is unfortunately a repro (die struck), but the marking belt looks original.

Any chance to see more pics of the belt ?

As said, the buckle is a reproduction. The leather belt "could be" original since this marking is a well known found on many original. BUT it is also true that there is an increase of fake markings duplicating original ones.
Ric is right: post a close up of this marking and please post also a picture of the belt under the leather tongue (close to the part where it is sewn to the belt). This maker has often a distinctive feature I doubt fakers (if any) would duplicate ...

I had some doubt about this, and with your opinions my doubt became real!
I think that no need more pictures, all the items with this lot are fake!
Thanks for your experience and knowledge!!!

Well, if you could be kind, would you be able to ask for those photos for us? So far "I" did not hear this particuliar marking was reproduced (yet) - just my suspicion called - but I would really like to know if this has changed ...

TIA
