Neusilber SS buckle, please help

[zbv500]

Hi all,

What are your thoughts about this SS buckle ? I wondered about it because when I wanted to replace the missing prong I saw that the holes for the prong are very small so that a replacement prong from the era will not fit ? Any ideas ?

Thanks Jens

I believe its a Fake

The buckle is a original "fat eagle" nickelsilver
The prongs and post sleeve replacement is another history

You just have to be patient in your search. You are fortunate that, as JP pointed out, there are two types of prong bars thart work correctly with this buckle. I would experiment with some pins/nails or whatever just to see what diameter pin will fit. You then have an idea of the pin diameter to begin your search.

A nice buckle -hope you find the right prong bar for it.

Thank you guys for all the input Iam glad its real, by the way, there is black Allgemeine SS visor comming from the same family soon.

I guess my buckle would have the prong like in the first pic from Jean-Pierre ? With a rivet on top and at the bottom ?

I will look out for a proper prong.

Thanks for all the help,

Jens
