    Unmarked WSS buckle verification

    Unmarked WSS buckle found today in a local bric-brac store in Vielsam, Ardennes...
    Came from a house cleaning in the area was the story and described as "WW2 German Buckle" with no reference to Waffen SS.

    Does it stand a chance?

            So it's an unmarked Overhoff? A late buckle?

                      Thanks for the opinions so far. So it is pretending to be this one...(link below)
                      Honestly I don't see much difference, but willing to learn!

                        Compare roll over sections that overlap prong shroud. How warped they are.

                          "Amazing" story provided along with this well known repro

                          Btw, counterfeiters modified it by adding what appears to be a real catch bridge. As a note this repro originated from Austria with a catch which is an obvious give away sign.

                            Thanks Rick and Cossack on your expertese comments.
                            I own the buckle you commented on.
                            I also own the known Austrian type RZM 36/42 fake and compared it with my Ardennes find. The fake I own is definitely different. (Less broad wings, different eagle shoulder loops, and smaller and flatter lettering roundel. Details not so sharp as my find....)
                            Thats why I dared to pick this one up in a junk shop. It also has correct attachment system details compared with those on the fakes...
                            So the Austrian fakers have 2 different dies and s.o. put original backing system on this buckle?
                            Just learning here...

                              Hello K.,

                              here's the mentioned austrian repro by its original configuration.
