I like the toning, and the solder points are common for this imperial buckle, looks like a worn buckle that compares well to my stalheim buckle of the same period. Good imo

I agree with you Andy. 3 vertical solder marks and the points and overall finish tell the story.

hi all ,
would it be possible to show detailled pictures of a true buckle ? So , comparison would be much easier than sentenses .Especially for a new collector as I am . Thanks in advance .
