Members BillinOK Posted February 7, 2010 Members Report Posted February 7, 2010 I'm new to Leatherworker.net but have been doing leatherwork for a long time. Several years ago I made this buckle. It is leather with a replica Texas Ranger Sergeant badge, inlayed with ivory and the star gold plated. I had a friend that was friends with Chuck Norris. I sent the buckle to my friend and he gave it to Chuck Norris. He really liked it. He was suppose to wear it on his show, Walker Texas Ranger. Don't know if he ever did. I made several buckles back then with different old west replica badges. I had no trouble in selling them. Quote

Thanks Doc. I really enjoyed making these buckles. My supplier of the replica badges went out of business and I have not been able to find any more of the badges. The ones I was buying were hardened copper I think. I could weld a chicage post on the back of them and the heat would not damage the badge. Have tried a few from different places, but the heat would damage the badge. Quote
