I agree. Looks like case fake and damage to the eagle seems to be artificial.

Hello,

by the pics posted I have to disagree with above comments and many features leads me to believe it's a good one.

I do think the same as Ric. I will not dare to discard that one too easy. What made you so sure this was a cast fake?

[ENGLISH BOB]

Interesting!,so Ric you think this could be a good 3rd type then?,shall i get more photos then?

Many thanks to you & Jean Pierre

Cheers

I see nothing wrong with this buckle. The main damage to the right wing area looks like a legit scuff to me, (drag scratching). Also, it appears to have some honest corrosion on both sides. This often appears to darken gray spots where the corrosion occurs on aluminum. A salty original buckle, imo.

I would like to read which points detractors are seeing, then maybe additional pictures could be needed. Do you have access to the physical buckle?
