Hello everybody.
I'm aware of the new generation fake aluminium beltbuckles. But I had this one long before those alu fakes appeared on the marked. But, nevertheless, I became suspicious. I bought this one some 15 years ago from a honest dealer as an original one.
What are your oppinions?
Thanks.

Hello,

sorry, in spite of dealer honesty the buckle is a molded repro : btw, they surfaced the market around 1990.
