You could also look into purchasing those buckles and having them plated in any metal of your choosing. Nickel plating is very inexpensive and leaves a nice (not chrome) finish. O'Neille

Here's a hand-forged iron buckle:

You could polish it up, or not...!

I can cast such a buckle from pewter.

When I cast it in sand and give it a patina bath it will look pretty antique

Cost will depend on the weight...I guess I need 150 to 200 grams pure pewter....uhm...uhm...$15 for 2.25" belt width.

I'd like to have one of those. O'Neille

I'll make a "test version"...maybe several...and post pictures.

Give me 1 week

I'm very interested Robin.

A Robin Buckle and a Cavscout kilt belt sounds like it might be a promising combo!!!

I wonder how much for the combo????? :confused:

(Hint, Hint, HINT!!!! :mrgreen: )

Hey Robin,

I'm interested as well.

Would you be intersted in casting a "round buckle" similar to this picture:

I'll take some close ups & do a little bit of measuring tonight and post them.

The buckle as an "indent" on opposite side of the pin to give the look of a brooch pin when buckled.
