SS buckle for sale fake?

[mastodontti]

Hi, i`m posting this to ask you what do you think of this RZM 36/42, it is nicely rusted out so i thought it wouldn`t be fake, but what do you say, what got me suspicious was that ss-mark similar to one of the fakes on an earlier post.
Thanks for answers.

Fake to me. Sold as repros for reenactors.
The thing that got me jump high was the bright red rust. Its done with acid to stress aging

I used to work as a welder in a metalshop. We used acid to clean welds on stainless steel. Standard steel material, placed close to this cleaning area would start to rust within 24 hours. Strong stuff i tell you.

Sorry.

To be sure, look at the dieflaw on yours and the repro buckle i posted.

Thanks for your answer, i havent bought the buckle i posted pictures of, and i sure won`t, it seems people really do amazing things to make things look real...

You will find a original SS buckle soner or later.
