    Any opinons if this buckle is original?
    It surfaced at an estate sale recently.
    Will post the highly unusual reverse, next.

    Reverse of Gau Essen buckle


    Uploaded with ImageShack.us
    I think this thing is made of aluminum(?), but note the highly unusual
    catch, separately mounted, the unusual R Z M with numbers M34/2,
    and the general lack of fine detail on front and back.
    Any thoughts/input/opinions welcome.
    Thanks, MB

      Mark,

      It is a copy originating from eastern Europe.

        Sounds like you knew before you posted it! Trust the gut!

        Yes, one of the easiest fakes to spot, and I really have a hard time believing it was made to fool!

          Looks like the "estate" sale was a scam.

            Yes of course! A very poor fake.

            Any relation to the SS is also not confirmed.

            Best,
