Here is an rather unusual OLC 36/39 buckel:
not alu but more havy; seems to be an alloy close to nickel silver but there are signs and rest of paintings.
Any opinion would be appreciated,
thanks
Chris

I was just wondering if officer buckels where still made of nickel silver in 1939 ?

100% fake made in East Europe. They are cast from an original and are usually found made in low grade aluminum and/or zinc. Few years ago a German friend of mine sent me photos of an example (disk only / not with back disk and keeper assembly) which was made from nickel silver but never saw another.
Anyway your is one of those well known fake.

Dear Jean Pierre,
Thank you so much for your always appreciated opinion ! Merci beaucoup.
Yes Rogi, you're right, I do trust the extented experience and knowledge of Jean Pierre. Concerning a potentiel sell, I don't think that this is a bargain for you, as it's offered for a price of a real one...
Anyway, thanks for every opinion and
merry Christmas
Chris

Agree, that's a decent looking reproduction. I like it much more than the aluminum ones, and would buy one if they ever become available. Does anyone have a link for them?
Thanks!
Rob
