small collection & uncommon attachment.

[aircrew76]

most of the normal types of buckles but one has a type of attachment i have not seen on german buckles before has anyone else ?

Hello,

Nice collection that you have shown. In my opinion, the Imperial Prussian you have shown with the uncommon reverse is an original buckle as I have seen before. Unfortunately I believe though that the Luftwaffe officer's buckle is a repro but please post additional front/back photos of it if you wish to confirm. The SA buckle shown appears original, however the tab likely doesn't belong. Again, some additional images will help.

Best,
Adam

I would agree the officers LW is a fake. Reverse shot to be 100%

The Imperial Prussian with the black tab should not go together imo. (but i can be wrong)

OLC is not a fake maker - they did make original buckles...

As for fake makers there are plenty of them out there - do a search on the forums or go to the fakes gallery and you'll start to ID the different fakes.

correction

my bad my meaning was real makers marks that are known to be commonly
seen faked. that mark led me to think it might have been good.

Look through these (also found on the main page of buckles)... pretty much everything is faked. haha

agan thanks

members never fail to pass on great information. it is so important to try to stay ahead of the bad items in order to limit getting burned! I go to the burn center too often. even with lots of books you can not remember everything or at least I can not. when at a show ect.
