Still waiting to have someone, anyone, throw up a photo of a REAL one. 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?

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. Last edited by snakecollector; 03/09/21 01:52 PM.

Handy to have these available so comparisons can be made when they do show up.
