DJ, LW look good?

[Hafke77]

I'm pretty sure these are good, LW to me seems stamped not cast.

You are right, both buckles are good, the LW buckle made by Franz Reischauer

Thank you ivanjoaquin, I was actually not certain of the DJ, I could not find one like this that had the insignia welded on, most appeared to have the S pressed.
Also thanks for the maker name on the LW.

DJ BUCKLE IS A RARE ONE!! Will post photos of mine later. Very Early!

[Hafke77]

Thanks Ron, I probably should have tried a little harder for it. These were from an auction the other day. I had no idea what that style DJ might possibly be worth. It went way past what I was comfortable spending, it sold for just over $188 not including shipping. Maybe it was worth it? But I at least walked away with the LW buckle. I really like those DJ buckles, simple but sharp.

I was there and bought it for $160

[Hafke77]

No kidding?! Ok, so that answers my question if it was worth it. I was online and I think I stopped at 80, that auction place had a 15% online fee + 3% credit card fee, that's where I got the 180 from. Those online fees are getting out of hand. Anyways, sweet score! I guess I know what there worth of I ever see one again.
