Gentlemen,

I would like your opinions and comment on these (water) police buckles.
Thanks in advance!

Nobody?

Hello

The gold one with "A dresden" marked is a fake

And I think the last one is a cast fake with the JMO marking in a triangle under the prongs bar.

Hello Emmanuel,

Can you explain where you can see it.
Because various militaria dealers approved it, would be certain.
You may also send me a pm.

the marking on the gold one is fantasy

the buckle is made from brass and the orignals ones were made from alu or iron and golden after.

the prongs are soldered on the post sleeve: it's a building like ww1 buckles, ,not for ww2 ones.

for the JMO police, it looks like a cats fake: grey alu, not paint, bubbles in surface..
and this fake with JMO marking is well known.

but wait for more opinions...

Yes Emmanuel , you goes right .

I agree with Emmanuel. The "Dresden" marked buckle has been discussed in the past and there should be threads on this fake if you run a search here. Same with the reproduction cast JMO's.

At this point, I only like what I'm seeing with the LuF marked and the two-piece examples. What's going on with the other gold example, was it painted or burnished? Any faint markings on the reverse?

Like reactions.

whooo the scary marking

I think it's not good too.. the same fake but painted in gold

I've no archives from JMO gold police..I don't think that this maker produced theses buckles

Agreed again with the above. Appears like a painted up JMO repro and I have also never seen a "gold" police buckle from this maker.
