For me the Assmann buckle is the really amazing buckle, perhaps because it is the rarest one and it is missing in my collection
Congrats for these beautiful buckles!

As you can see, i still need a few myself. I would like to acquire a "neck feathers", a "pointy wings", and a Keller. All things come to he who waits and is willing to pay the mega bucks.

Excellent Chris ....
I have a question for you ... What does cracked wing mean ?
And you could explain as I have never heard of this term ?
Regards and Thank you

It is the name I gave to this SS buckle several years ago for the reason you pointed out in your next post. At that time I did not know some examples were without this feature. Then I find some examples even marked. But I kept the name I gave it first.

The same goes for the SS Buckle Chris labelled as Fisher. The original name I gave to this buckle is "oeil cerné" (it's French), and that name should be more accurate for the moment since the reference I gave for this buckle to be made by Rudolf Fisher in Nixdorf was a possibility but it is still just a possibility. It has not been proven as such.
