Hey all I haven’t posted for awhile, it’s been a long row to hoe of late for me. I’m sure many are in the same boat and hope allare well! I have found some goodies this past year and thought I’d share them! I THROUGHLY enjoy the conversations and rabbit holes that relics start! So here we go puppy paw US buckle it is overfilled lead, with a beautiful rounded edge. I’m thinking it the real deal but what does everyone think?

When I scrolled down to see the photo I almost chocked om my beer. Way Way wrong. The puppy paw was basicly 2 hollow brass studs that were back filled with lead. The one above is a joke.

Thank you for posting this so all of us could learn something. Sorry it did not turn out good for you.
 
Always good to learn and it was fun none the less! I really enjoy sharing and learn more. Don’t worry I’ll try again! 🤞😂

Keep in mind a couple of things when looking at lead filled buckles:

1. The lead fill was almost concave and not overfilled in the brass “shell”.
2. Prongs and hooks were usually substantial and not thin brass as in repops.
