Heer Buckle by Paul Cramer

[regiment739]

Hi all, this is a nice buckle that can confused people into thinking it is a fake, the buckle is marked M4/44. Cramer was the only buckle maker to put this on all his buckles, also the odd shaped eagle can confused people, again nothing wrong with these the buckle is original and a nice piece to have in ones collection

Is the paintwork original?  Years ago I always knew an original. When I see some of these nice buckles nowadays, I sometimes have my doubts.
