This ain´t fun!

Hi,
I´ve just received my parcel with HJ leader buckle....but WTF is that? This buckle is different from the one discussed below !

I am 99% sure I was cheated by that guy...I can´t say I like it as the previous buckle :-(

I would be very helpful for your comments on genuity on this one...I know it will propably hurt me:-)

I have a problem (decribed below) and would like to ask more experienced collectors fot they final judgement...
Does all Dicke hj leader buckles must have curved prongs? Too many questions for me with this piece...

Your help would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much!

Regards

Sorry to agree but I think you are right.
Prongs definitely different. Many subtle differences in wear and patina throughout.
Collar soldered to reverse seems more round on the 2nd one than the original above.
There are a few 'dings' on the 1st collar that do not show on the 2nd.
The exit hole on the roll bar where the lower prong comes out is different.
The eye of the eagle.
Eagles wing at curve in the top is different.
Sorry I'm not much help. The photo's you were sent make it hard to really define anything more definite for me.
Maybe some one else. John
