Red Cross EM Buckle Help

[Paul Carter]

I just picked up a small group of items and this buckle was in the lot. Not my expertise so I am asking for your help. The front has been cleaned , but the rest of the buckle has a nice patina. I don't see any markings. Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately, this is a fake buckle. It's meant to look like a 'prototype' injection molded zinc buckle, but yours is steel. It's from a series of fakes which includes Bahnschutz, RAD and others.
