Overhoff & CIE SS buckle. Need Help!!!

[espenlaub]

Hi all! This is ground dug up battle damaged SS nickel buckle with full logo markings on it. As you can see the nickel is oxidized in a soil and changed its original silver color... I will ask your opinions on this buckle . Please also confirm info on so called full logo marking Overhoff & CIE. My opponent is sure and claims that their been only short mark with O&C. ges. gesh and that full logo mark Overhoff & CIE is not real for nickel buckles and it's fake. Also any references to books, catalogues and historian sources are very welcome! Thanks in advance for your help!!!

This "full text Overhoff Version" is a well known original. Nobody knows why O&C Buckles have different markings..

Best Regards
