Hi Guys,
I bought this belt buckle here on E-stand. My intention was to display it with my Hlinka breast eagle. After receiving it in person, I'm questioning its authenticity. The seller told me to post it here. I have a little better pictures of. My concerns are it is made of thin brass. It appears to be a cast as there is a loss of detail all over and some pits and swirls when the metal was poured. There is missing detail to some on the pronunciation marks on some of the letters . The ring around the outside is deformed all over. The 2 parts of the buckle do not fit well together. Now that being said , I know nothing about these buckles and how they would have been made. I was comparing it to the one on the emedals website. Any opinions welcome.
Regards, Mitch
