I just had my doubts about these being the originals and wanted to give a heads up to any members bidding on the high dollar one..

Dale, Gotcha, personally I wouldn't no the difference between a real one or a nock off, so there is no way I was gonna bid on the one, I bought them cause I liked them and so will the other trappers in my family, and yes I thought 3 for a hundred was better than the other option, thanks again for the heads up Bill

Dale, I know where there are a couple of originals that would look really good on you!
I have nothing clever to put here.

Dale, I know where there are a couple of originals that would look really good on you! Rob, I would gladly give you 30$ each and would even walk to pick them up.... I originally posted this to let folks know (as bigmac2 stated) that there are reproduction ones out there. Tried to do it politely without bashing the ebay sellers. Looks like all I did was send a bunch of business to the guy in Texas. I think he sold more in the last day than he has all year. At least he had them listed in the belt buckle section and priced accordingly. Now the other seller that listed in the vintage trap section is, In My Opinion, being deceptive . That last link I posted above shows a buyer that bought 3 of these for $29.99 and that feedback number matches this sellers feedback number. Coincidence????

I think I will start calling you Dick Tracy. That is REALLY paying attention to details! One of my buckles is new, unworn. The other is WELL used and needs a little minor repair. I believe we both know where that one came from and I hope to be man enough to wear it one day.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I sent a picture to dale. The casting and lettering on the original is much sharper, especially on the back.

$30 is cheap enough for a buckle even if it is a counterfeit but selling it as an original is a little unscrupulous.

Good, focused pictures, front and back, so the differences can be seen whatever they are. One that is real .. and ... how do you KNOW personally it is real?

Here are photos of the original Newhouse #4 1/2 belt buckle made in 1981. Notice the quality of the casting, it is crisp with no flaws. Also, I will point out that the patent date on all of these buckles is incorrect. It should read "SEPT. 26, 1911", not 28. I do not have any of the reproduction buckles but I will post photos for comparison.
Thank you for posting this. Would be nice if they were high resolution ones that you could enlarge to see detail. Handy to have these available so comparisons can be made when they do show up.
