Patrick99,
With one possible exception I like them all......

Alittle hestitant on the "Fur Volk u. Heimat" FAD Buckle....not horrible by any means but soder points look "new", the ends of the "pins" for mounting the belt are shearded off (like many repros. and some original early buckles) and the brass buckle itself seems to have a differant "grain".... if you know what I mean. This is the rarest of the buckles you have and I don't have an original to compare it to, it does seem to match "Angolia's" example pretty closely....I'd certianly seek a more expert opinion on this particular buckle, I see no problems with the rest....nice "haul", especially if this one turns out to be good!

I don't see anything wrong with the FAD. The photo doesn't show the ends of the prongs. If you search FAD you will find some old thread with buckles that look the same as your buckle. Kirby

the FAD buckle is okay. As far as I know it's making is typical for the concern of Berg & Nolte.
