Is it possible to tell the time period of this SA buckle? Thanks in advance.

Sid,

here a picture overview for "SA Koppelschloss", maybe helpful for you.

Link: https://www.google.com/search?q=SA+Kopp ... =Hbd&hl=de

Please also note the many links in Google text search to the relevant offers.

Übersicht: Koppelschlösser & Feldbinden 1870 - 1945 https://www.weitze.net/militaria/Koppel ... 45all.html

Without commitment, I would guess an original, but the many copies trimmed to "old" are everywhere...

IMHO- There are high chances that this buckle is a copy.

Copies and reproductions are to be distinguished in principle.

Many daggers, for example, were reissued after 1945, on the old Solingen tools, there was still a "market" for all this.
The boundaries were and are fluid, German "Koppelschlösser" are easily repoduced, please do not forget that.

Ignorance and too much loose money have gone hand in hand for decades, people buy expensive junk, but money is too tight for some books.
An old affliction, good literature was, and is expensive, but to whom of you do I tell this...

Based on what? And what makes the one you posted ‘original’?

Thanks for that Hans. Looking at an original in one of the links this one appears and a good resemblance, especially the rear.

I gave you my opinion ( remember IMHO ) after checking database of fakes and original SA/NSKK buckles.
Answering your 1st question, its SA buckle would be of the third generation approx. 1936 model.

There is no reason to be angry, my example belongs to the part of the originals of the same period.

Angry? I’m not in the slightest bit angry, I’m was just asking an opinion. Sorry if it came across that way. Thanks for your thoughts 👍

Our collector friend Herr von thoma mentioned the spanish company Marto above, here is the link:
Marto / Toledo: https://www.marto.es/index.php/en (Blank weapons reproductions...)
Marto "reproduced" many German blank weapons from the era before 1945. :wink:

Sid, an "online diagnosis" of such pieces was and is always difficult, you can try, but more, unfortunately, certainly not. :wink:

Hans, I agree with your sentiment with regards online diagnosis of such items.
