Hello all,
I purchased an SS buckle in good faith from a dealer that I've known for a while. It was this buckle:

I am a rank novice with these, and did something I don't normally do, which is "buy first, ask questions later". Not a good practice, I know!
That said, I brought the buckle home and starting looking at the fakes gallery, and lo and behold, she doesn't look good. I started the above thread and my suspicions were confirmed.
Fast forwarding, I contacted the dealer and he was very apologetic. I don't think he tried to deceive me, and offered immediately to make things right. He offered me my money back or the below pictured buckle.
I notice that the runes have the single ring around them (desirable from makers it seems), but I want to make sure that this one is legit before doing the swap.
Wisdom here is most greatly appreciated!
