Congrats on the find Jeff. Does your buckle have the DBGM on the back??

Well... my bubble has been OFFICIALLY BURST!
Yeah it does have the DBGM on the bottom. HOWEVER, I have been told that this is indeed a REPLICA buckle. NOT AN ORIGINAL. Yeah... I know exactly what you're thinking. I'm waiting on some more information on it. I'm a bit upset and feel I was taken. I would just suggest people think twice about any buckles that are currently up for sale, they are most likely replicas. - Jeff

Sorry to hear that, Jeff. I thought the buckle was too complicated to replicate? There has been talk of replicating one of these beauties for years, but no
one had the money or inclination to try...

Yes, I have 100% confirmation from the source that the buckle I have is a REPLICA. I have asked that the person who created them have the person that is
selling them announce publicly that they are indeed replicas. In emails from the seller, I was told otherwise. I am upset that someone well known in our
community would take advantage of fellow finheads like that. I do NOT blame the person who manufactured them, just the person that is selling and totally
misrepresenting them. I caught him in a lie and he needs to step up and own to it. Hopefully he will post soon, before any other buckles are sold, and
apologize and clear it all up. Otherwise I will post all emails I've had with the seller and the maker. I will post the seller's name, however I
don't think it's fair to post the maker's name, he didn't cause this and I don't want his email box flooded.
So PLEASE keep an eye out for any buckles you see being sold right now and know that they are most likely REPLICAS. - Jeff

I am in talks with several people on what we are going to do about this. I can't stand liars and people that take advantage of others, specially not in our
little community or on this board. I will not let this issue be swept under the rug, I can't be bought by resin trinkets or threats. Yes names, PM's
and emails will be used and people will probably get upset, but their anger over it will just be because they were caught and shown their true colors. There
are a couple people involved with this that have expressed being innocent of other's motives and dealings. My decision to do this it not to hurt those
people, but to make people aware of the back room dealings going on and make sure people are NOT getting taken by lies and spending their money without knowing
the whole truth.
I will update soon. - Jeff
