Luftschutz buckle, fake?

[Peppe864]

Hello guys!

I am not a buckle expert, but always trying to learn, I have searched the fake section and I know there are quite good fakes of buckles nowadays.

I haven´t found this buckle in the fake section, so I want opinions.

It´s made of aluminium and measures excatly 63 x 47 mm, so the size is right.
Tried to take as good pics as I could.

Hello,

if you better look at the fake section you will find a repro compared with an original one :

Anyway, by the pics posted I would say the buckle is not original

I see your points Ric, it is the backside that is very close to the one on the pics, but I would say that the fakers are getting better.

You are right about it, but fortunately the details quality of an original buckle (die struck) can't be reached by the molded repro (so far).
