Nice buckle, unquestionably original, probably the wrong "keeper", area of serious zink pest but I've seen alot worst examples.....always had strong collector appeal....thanks for sharing!

Yeah I just threw that keeper in for the hell it. I did clean the corrosion off and put a coat of Ren wax on. Why did they use zink on parts like this anyway?
