I agree, nothing wrong with that one. It's in a very nice condition too

Here's a link to mine for comparison it's post number 5 & 6 http://www.wehrmacht-awards.net/foru...ad.php?t=76793 .

I'm sorry Petrv, but I have to disagree with you. Although the fake listed on the link you give is a very good copy, there are small areas that differ from the original. The pin head & the colour of the reverse to name just two.

I still feel that the buckle posted above is original.

Hats off to Petrv for reminding us about the fake and possibly die stamped 1938 pattern DRK, although I agree with the Chad, Don and von Hacht, insofar as the buckle posted looks fine.

Attached is a photo merge of all three and whilst the declared fake image is a trifle hazy, I think that it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Regards,
