Hi all

Could anyone give me some information about this one?

Is it good or FAKE ?

Not a known pattern for the face plate. The box looks like it is OK but eh face plate asppears to be glued on since there is no solder in the two points on the bukcle back. I would stay away from this one. Anothe r note for the Forum in general- if you follow the goings on with the German eBay there are a nunmber of suspect Communist buckles showing up as well as the face-plates by themselves. These buckels are extremely rare and expewnsive when found. The numbers showing up now are cause for serious scrutiny as well as concern.

Some collectors like the buckle. Already 151 Euro. I wonder, what will be the final price today?

Sold for 301 Euro (450 US$)!

Nothing surprises me anymore. This buckle is bad. There are no photos of this faceplate anywhere in the lit. In addition the face plate is oversize for the box and look at the attachment and the gaps. Even if it was genuine-which it is not -I would not want it.
