Wehrmannshaft Real or fake

[regiment739]

Gents, I have received a PM from a gent informing me that the Wehrmannshaft buckle I have posted in the fake section is in fact genuine. In my opinion it is indeed a fake but no one is perfect apart from my wife (thats what she tells me) so opinions please gents. BTW I am not trying to be a smart alec here just establish if it is indeed genuine or fake, mostly for my own sanity

many thanks

(PS second buckle posted)

...sorry Ben, but this is a fake for sure ! Dull greyish aluminium...
but only by looking at the picture - the prongs are the obvious sign of the fake
- compare with an original.
Cheers

Yes....I agree....it's a cast repro....The flaw that is found on originals just at the top of the belt catch is also missing....another sign of a reproduced buckle.
