Hi kampfer,
I agree with John, this buckle is a 90's fake.
Sorry,

Thanks for your help, I was not aware of the fakes of the O & C nickel buckle.
Live and learn.

Hi kamfer: Fortunately if you study these fakes you will see that they are easy to distinguish from originals...one of the main differerences is that they are considerably larger than original early O and C examples.
