Hello
Opinion on this DRK Buckle ?? Thank you

Good one imo

That looks good to me. I like the worn look to it. I'm not a huge fan of mint buckles, I like some actual action on mine.

Just curious, what sort of 'action' would a red cross officer see exactly?

Action as in actual use, not sitting on a shelf for 70 years then coming to market in "mint condition". This was a blanket statement about ww2 era buckles, not a in this case statement. I work just in a office and have belts and other items that show ware after a few years of day to day use.

My post was actually tongue-in-cheek. For combat formations, yeah, I'm with you - I like to see a little "in the trenches" combat wear. But for desk jockeys like Red Cross officers, I would think most would be mint/near mint.

Well that was kinda my point. I'm a desk jockey in construction, but I still have ware on my clothes. Anyway we can all agree that it's a nice buckle!

The buckle looks good. You do need to be careful with these, you'll find some quality reproductions. There was a thread last year titled Possible New Fakes that shows them.
