    USMC Buckles

    Here's a couple of buckles I made last week,

    These are for my 3" belt, I purchased two Western buckles at the flea market for around $15 each and added a $10 cover emblem from the army/navy store.




    These are the before pics....




    These are the After.....

    OK - OK - Now I have to dig out those old western belts and buckles and see what I can do. You now seem to have things for all events!

    They look just fine. But, I'd say they're more suited for a pair of Wranglers than a kilt. Just my opinion...

    Looks good! Is a little flashy for me but I admire it. How did you dismantle the old buckle without damaging it?
