155/40 assmann ss-buckle opinion

[Kevin l]

Hello guys,

one of my colleagues got this buckle from a vets family in Germany. I would say that it is a non-original, but that does not seem to be enough. So now I hope I'm right .... Who is right?

This one is a fake.
V shape in the chest of the eagle, typical fake prongs, Overhoff catch type on an Assmann marked buckle, you were right and your friend has been ripped off.

Thanks Simon,

but for my friend's sake, I would like to hear some more opinions, not because I do not trust your judgement, but just so that he can throw it in the bin with the right feeling
