This buckle is a reproduction......I would stay away from this one.
If purchased already, you should work on a refund.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Sorry to bear the bad news but the Patent pending mark (G.Gesch) and the tips of the prongs are the biggest giveaways on this buckle. The front does not display the detail that is found on originals as well. At least it came with a bunch of other items a while back....it doesn't hit as hard that way!
Cheers!
