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

Its a beoutifull original SS officers buckle and i woud love to add it to my SS buckle collection!!

Thanks Rogi for your very fast reply !
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.

... and no, there was no nickel silver buckles made after 1936.

If its a fake and trust Jean Pierre that it is, i must say that its a very nice fake and i woud like one for my reenacting any way, so if it will be for sale i am always intersted yust let me know please !!!

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

thats a damn fine fake,,

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

not expert but very nice !
