Check some of the Buckle threads here for suggestions. Also look in the Sources/tutorials sticky thread at the top of this section. apfoister.proboards9.com/index.cgi?board=Belts&action=display&n=1&thread=3872I believe SaberBelt stopped with buckles, just so you know. I will add some links from my favorite list for you. If your handy with crafts, heres one I found. www.danielbergren.homestead.com/obidantutorials1.htmlAlot of people look for used shoe buckles for an Obi Wan type of buckle at Goodwill or resale shops. I even read one person found one they liked, on their grandmothers old pair of shoes  The original buckle has yet to be identified as to what the heck it was. Its 1/2" roughly in width, but some say it was a shoe buckle, others say it was a Gucci hand bag closure. I dont think anyone knows for sure. You might find someone selling a resin "copy" but almost everything ive read says those are just not great. One person was trying to get some made by a silver smith, but I never read if he did or not. I say find something you like till you can find something NEW you like it shouldnt be hard to change it out later. Other links below This 3/4" one is the one I used, nice but a hair thick. www.cdwplus.com/singleMSRB.html(pic of my belt) home.centurytel.net/CaptTechRaines/SmallerPics/BeltAll.jpgSome people swear about these buckles. www.strapworks.com/metalsiderelease.htmlJoann fabrics has a plastic one that can work made by LA Mode at 3/4" #4778 (I think). I was going to use one till i got the metal one, pic here home.centurytel.net/CaptTechRaines/SmallerPics/Buckle2.JPGBest I can do for help, but check those other threads. |

I just used a dog lead buckle. I wasn't too particular about how mine looked as long as it looked reasonably accurate.
