Hi!  I was wondering if someone could tell me how to identify the original buckle from fakes.

"I was disappointed to see so many MM buckles, so many for sale cheap. Then Smrekar started pointing out more details
about my own buckle-ideas which were encouraging. He said my buckle was “cast very well,” noted its expected brass
weight, the fact that the MM figure had good dimensions, no damages shown. Then I looked even more closely and for
the first time noted that the very small clasp was lined, as in the deco style of the period for30’s items. Now I believe it unlikely that the buckle’s a fake, but genuine, in great shape. After all, it was protected, stashed safely for more than half a century somewhere in a vintage house. Value? Appraiser suggested $25.00- $60.00, but thought maybe, considering condition, starting at $100.00 at auction, might be smart."  Article: Collecting Adventures by Rosemary Lee Potter
