markings

both are marked 36/39 O and C I think and both have Kelly hicks certificates with them

[Wickie]

Both buckles are well known fakes. Is it possible to see the certificates?

thanks

exactly what I thought , most o and c 36/39 ncos are molded in not stamped and the officer's has maker marks in rear center, not on catch

dealer still has these and has not sent copies of hicks certificates so I don't have them

thanks, for confirming my suspicions

You might want to contact Kelly Hicks about this dealer. This dealer my be faking the certificates. There is no way Hicks would think these were original.

As already stated, the officers is a pure 100% fake, don't personally know anything regards the EM, but officers is a TD.

Both fake
I think it's impossible that Mr. K. Hicks certificated this buckles, also the certificates are fake. IMO

Just playing devil's advocate but plenty of other dealers with impeccable credentials have had fake SS buckles for sale on their respective sites. It's certainly possible Mr. Hicks has made an honest mistake as well.

Absolutely agree with other comments, both fake buckles.
Ask the dealer to send you Hick's CoA: I think it will turn to be a fake CoA but it is useful to see it.
