I have seen buckles which the front plate was up side down, so maybe it was for left handed??? -

I'm not so sure I believe you. Post a "real" one for comparison...

Hello,
here to compare :Comment

So what makes my front plate fake? They look pretty much the same to me. Besides, there was surely more than one maker of this buckle.

"Thank you, Markus, for your opinion."
(This thread needed that.)
Almost every NSBO buckle requires a 'leap of faith' on the part of the owner. This is because they have been heavily faked for many years, and more importantly, we know that real roundels were often placed on fake boxes. That makes it very difficult in some cases to distinguish real from fake, and in most cases, the genuineness of an NSBO buckle comes down to opinion. This can be judged only be the solder points and the construction of the box, because, like I said, genuine roundels are occasionally applied to modern boxes. In some cases, a genuine roundel can also be placed on a genuine box, which once again makes authentication nearly impossible, which once again places the question of 'real or fake' squarely in the realm of opinion.
Anyone who is happy with their NSBO buckle should continue being happy with it.Comment

I am not happy that it is soldered upside down, but I do think the parts are real. Maybe I can get it repaired and at least have a representative NSBO buckle...

Back to the quistion, here also maybe a lefthand buckle, or up side down frontplate buckle. See my old thread.
