Gentleman, Here is an example of a faked Colonial/Naval buckle.

what gives it away?

Hey Jerry...the three solder (spelling?) holes on the back are the biggest giveaway - no good. Also, if you look at the sides of the buckle, you can see just how "flimsy" the brass is. There's no thickness to it. Finally - the belt doesn't belong with that type of buckle...and just look at the condition of the belt. It looks like it was made yesterday.
Hope that helps... Cheers! Rob Welcome to the Addiction!!!! |

Ok thanks!
I never even noticed that 3rd hole~! I missed the thinness too I guess. But to me the belt itself seems old. it looks very dry & cracked, especially in th the last photo. Might not be WW1 could be a WW2 luft belt too I'd have to see better pics.  |
