Belt Buckle question

[JRJ]

I know there are other threads about belt buckles, but I just had a question of authenticity on a specific buckle. Here are some pics:

It's a modern version of the oval U.S. buckle.

Alright thank you kind sir! Might I ask what identifies it as such?

Lack of the details that originals have such as lead filled back, type of attachments for the belt, and that it appears to be solid cast. I,ve been authenticating relics for 45 plus years and when you handle thousands of originals and fakes or reproductions, you just know them when you see them.

modern buckle. Period U.S. buckles have a 3 point hook.Look at the link here,youll see the 3 prongs.

This is the type called the "puppy paw" type of attachment.

I wasn't doubting you, I was just curious.

I didn't take it as such. I was just explaining that this knowledge comes best from hands on experience. Thanks.
