Looks like there were a few versions in terms of how the buckle was attached to the belts (this looks like 1839 era model?) However what is your buckle made off? (the corrosion on the back makes me think of iron) From what I read the originals were made of brass and lead (lead-filled brass) I really don’t know but Im a little suspicious.</p><p><br /></p><p>But also why would someone go to all this trouble to fake something that’s not that valuable in the first place!?</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to hearing what the knowledgeable members say..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
