Manufacturer's note on anodized finish:

"Depending on the type of aluminum and batch, the finish can vary in quality and color. This applies in particular to Cobra buckles, which are produced in high quality and high strength aluminum. Despite the high level of production quality of the buckles, it is not possible to achieve consistent results with regard to the finish. The buckles may have different color shades. AUSTRIALPIN does not accept claims arising from the finish (color) of the buckles."
