For me it is a cast fake, in the front you can see some Castbumpels, i would pass on this one.

As for me I've also never seen one piece construction buckle like that, but it does mean nothing.

On the other way lack of details on central feathers could lead to a repro by casting and usually similar way of construction are by zink not alu.

They obviously used a belt for open claw buckle then reshaped.

Thank all, but now I m a little but confused...it seems like original to me, buckle for sure and belt is no touched cracked...and no resewing and so on...if it is fake what is wrong ?

IMHO, the buckle is fine, I have seen this type construction.

the belt may have been done at the factory because they did not have the correct style, it is for the claw buckle, see pix. Do you see what I am talking about now?

Thank you John, now I see it...but why someone do it like that ? Sewing looks very good. maybe some private work ?
