Hello Torsten,

save your money and pass on as the buckle is not original.

Usually dealers with several fake SS items like that ...for big bucks , after discovering their items are repros...should be generally avoided from then on.

not a big dealer who is offering these to me, but a general antiques dealer in the USA that has come across some small third reich collection from somewhere and is offering these items to me. about 25% of the lot he is offering is original and about 75% is fake (including these two buckles). He just does not have a clue what is original and what is not. Cheers, Torsten.

Please correct me if this is wrong. My understanding is that the SS runes in a diamond are early 70's Delta International stuff, and a clear indication of a repro wherever it is found (buckles, rings, etc.)

Correct.....any "SS in a diamond" hallmark is a Reproduction!!!! Delta certianly sold buckles with this code, but I don't think it was reclusively "Delta's" trademark.......
