I'm thinning out of my collection for some new items. Please write if you have
any questions. You will have 5-day inspection period. If for any reason, you don�t
like this item during this time period.I will refund your money back to you, As
long as the buckle is returned in the same condition as sent. Please write with
if you have any questions. I have had questions about my private auction policy.
The reason for the use of private auctions is my bidders have received bogguss
second chance offers. This has happened more than once. I feel that it is my
obligation to protect my bidders."

Editor note: This seller sells on ebay auction under "Private Auction" and is frequently the subject of conversation on the NVRHA forum on fakes. It is highly doubtful this piece can be shown to be authentic.
