Org Todt buckle, real or repro?

[Richard]

I have the opportunity to purchase this buckle but would appreciate some expert advice as I know very little about these. I saw an old thread about these and the buckle seems to compare more favorably to the one that was listed as a recent reproduction. The seller has been kind enough to allow me a personal approval of the buckle so that I can get it in my hands to view personally. My concern is the near mint quality of the buckle and the price seems to be very good. Sorry for the picture quality but it is second generation and so not very clear but hopefully clear enough for someone to make a determination. Thanks for any help.

Fake buckle, same generation and probably same maker as the fake 155 SS buckles. Very nice work but some obious wrong details( when knowing what to look for)

Thanks for the input Marc. I thought this deal was too good to be true. Can you provide me with at least one feature that I should look for when looking at one of these? If you prefer not to post the info for all to see, you can send me a pm or e-mail me at watsburg@cs.com. Thanks again.

I agree w/Marc on this one. The recent fakes of Org. Todt buckles are very good, especially if you do not have an original to use as a comparison or do not know what to look for. If you are really interested in an Org Todt I have a good one complete w/a late plastic belt stamped O.T. If Marc sees this reply he can vouch for this buckle as he has seen it. I have a very reasonable price on the set. The belt is harder to find than the buckle. If your interested please let me know.

Bill's buckle and belt are 100 % original. The belt is indeed very scarce!
