POLICE officer and EM buckles. Impartial comments needed

[Marc verstraete]

Hello All,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
For “politically correct” reasons, I post these buckles on the forum and ask you, the members to give an impartial opinion on them. Personally, I can’t see anything wrong with them...but... I'm not God....

Thank you,
Marc

This one is a stone mint officer. The mint condition is what makes some collectors nervous... One reaction on it was that the keeper is not smooth enough... It looks cast....

Hello I like both buckles. I've had this Water Police Officers for at least 30 years. It looks ldentical except for the gold wash. The keeper is a little smoother but I like it.

I've also got this one. It's had the markings messed with but with a lens it identical to yours but the keeper is also smoother than your.

Marc,

Nothing wrong with either buckle. Both are fine examples.

Marc,

by the pics nothing wrong with the Wasserschutz EM Polizei.
I personally didn't like the way of crimping on the Officer's post sleeve, but looking at Kirby's one I have to admit they appear the same so my on that one as well

Best
