Help! need 3 MOD style black kilt buckles

[OC Richard]

I recently had a kilt made by House of Edgar in the extra-heavy large-sett MOD style tartan, Royal Stewart, as is worn by the pipers of The Black Watch, the Scots Guards, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, The Kings Own Scottish Borderers, The Royal Scots, etc.

They were able to do the grass-green top binding, but they did not have a source for the traditional Scottish regimental black two-prong buckles. (The new kilts of The Royal Regiment of Scotland I've seen use ordinary civilian one-prong buckles, but black.)

Here are the traditional distinctively shaped two-prong buckles, on an actual MOD kilt



If I can find the buckles it will be a fairly simple matter to make the correct style of straps and install them on the kilt.

If anyone has these, or has a source for these, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Richard

John Heart at Keltoi, Steve Ashton, or Robert MacDonald from Westcoast Kilts. I would try or Canada contingent of kilt makers.

Richard,

If you would like to shoot me an email I have some of these that came off of old Regimental kilts. As these buckles pretty well chew up and destroy the straps I only have bits and pieces of strapping.

I'll dig through the junk drawer after my weekend on Tuesday .
