Kenny Andrew Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hi Neil, Hard for me to describe as I can't see the pictures as I write this, worst one is the bottom left SS officer buckle, stamps should be stamped in ,not raised, next to that the other officer is a common fake we used to sell these for about £20 from memory. The other rank on the top left lacks quality and the one to the right of this is probably the most accurate but again is a well known copy. SS items are total a minefield.You should only buy them from reputable sources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regiment739 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The top left one is a 155/43 fake, these are not bad fakes actually, look for the squared off prongs, flat pin head and the bumps on the wings on the front are not very pronounced, the top right is a moulded fake, really good fakes that fool a lot of people, these are more grey in colour that the originals, a bit smaller and have casting flaws on the rear. The two officer buckles are quite easy to spot as not authentic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
