Another addition, pot metal injected buckle, great detail to the reverse but well worn/denazified to the front. P.

yes , this is a pot metal buckle..but it is not injected!!
this is a much less seen type.. this is a zinc die struck buckle..there are only 2 known makers of this type.. notice that you can see the design on the back of the buckle.. if it was cast , it would be flat ont he reverse..
a shame it was de-nazified.. these usually bring 2-3 times more than a normal zinc buckle..
thanks for posting
