does anyone have any toughts on the SA Wehrmannschaften buckle posted today on the e stand? I have seen a few thread recently about a possible new fake that has defects in the wing, is this one posted good or is it one of these new repros?

This is a buckle that is guaranteed to get us all frothing at the mouth.
The SA Wehrmannschaften buckle was the subject of a study by Marc in August 2002 and it is worth having a look again.
I actually thought that it was a slightly complicated and difficult study, although three key points that stood out were :-
- buckle is certainly faked
- defect on the wing was a "good" sign
- distinct and unusual RZM label was a "good" sign also, even though it essentially descibes a totally different buckle
Would add however that I am still very nervous about this buckle and wonder why so many prime condition SA Wehrmannschaften buckles are currently for sale and perhaps we sometimes forget that in theory, this is a very rare buckle.

David
