Brass Buckles

Upon request, most items can be cast in solid sterling silver at additional cost.

All these brass buckles are lost-wax cast in Rhode Island, and I do the finish work.
The iron tongues are hand made from New England cut nails, and are not common cotter pins.
Beware of the cheap India/Pakistan imports which are poor replicas of the original buckles.
The crisp sharp details are lacking in the imported replicas, also the rear of the buckles are often flat.
On the original buckles the rear is often contoured to allow the leather to slip through the buckle.
Importers have offered to supply these replicas to me, but in my opinion they just don't measure up.
