Hi guys,
I went to pick up an SS RZM 57 buckle today, the collector/dealer said he wanted to show me something that I may like as I was now collecting buckles... So, he then produced this, what I think is a bakelite buckle centre that I had in my collection over 15 years ago... You could have knocked me down with a feather. He can't remember where he got it, but he's had it for between 10 and 15 years and I probably reckon I traded it to him back then...
Of course I wasn't passing this by, it had to come home with me.... It's correct dimensions for a HJ centre, and has a gold wash, gild, gold paint or whatever.... It looks like a broken buckle centre that's been filed down...
Thoughts? When I last had it about 15 years ago, nobody knew what it was. It's definetly plastic, looks like bakelite, although not the normal dark brown colour. Being gold I'd say Marine-HJ, but bakelite buckles are mega rare, and never seen anything like this....
