Reich verzierte Mittelalter-Gürtelschnalle 1200-1330, grössere Version

This buckle, replica of the 13th and 14th centuries, is really beautiful and well made. Fortunately, it is perfectly clear that it was made by mold and not laser cut, or similar modern ones. Fortunately, it has a few nice "flaws" that give it character and a handmade look. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because they come painted black, faking a patina and then gloss varnished. Which gives them a horrible look. You will have to spend a good hour with a wire brush and fine sandpaper (320) to leave the buckle with a good matte look, according to the buyer's tastes. So with this extra work, they are worth the money, and they look great. It's my opinion :)
