Heer 1938 buckle (What’s going on ?)
Anyone please if you have any info on why these type buckles have been appearing the last few years in unissued/mint condition, would like to know.
Was a time not too long ago, to find an early aluminum pebbled finish with 70% of the paint remaining was near impossible. My understanding the soldiers would sand/rub the paint off these for a more attractive, contrasting look.
Well last 3 years, have seen 5 of them in their minty state, mine being the lesser condition. All the same maker & date. Was a hoard of these recently discovered or maybe an old time collector has liquidated ? One sold recently in 100% condition for $1200 USD on Bill R. site. (Not Bill S.) & I saw 2 of them at SOS 2016… Could they be fakes ?
