Luftwaffe belt buckle

#1

Post by TomGun » 18 Apr 2016, 00:32

His all, this is for sale on eBay at the moment but it looks fishy, a quick Google shows that the buckle looks like a common fake but unsure on the belt markings

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Tom

Markings on the belt look original, however the keeper has been badly resewn on the hook end, so not a good sign. Can't see the adjustment end.... not one I'd pay any real money for.... even marked.

Okay thanks, but the buckle is deffo fake? The seller is arguing that he only sells original but to me it doesn't look right

Thanks again, Tom

Not familiar with a "JFS" buckle in blue painted steel.... but I don't like the eagle detail & wing pattern.... not a buckle I'd want unless so cheap it didn't matter...( like "free!).

The head design is a straight off give-away of a fake.
