Members celticleather Posted March 27, 2011 Members Report Posted March 27, 2011 I'm looking for a UK supplier/manufacturer of 1½" or possibly 1¾" double-prong buckles, preferably in cast brass, but plated steel or nickel may be OK. If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd be grateful for a link or contact number. Quote

I'm in Australia but buy their buckles for Sam Browne parade quality military belts. Beautiful cast brass jobs but they only supply to the trade. Since you are a Pom, you should be able to phone them & sort something out. If you bomb out there (you shouldn't), there are other Sam Browne 2 tongue buckle makers in the UK... Google "Sam Browne" & you will find something. Good luck with you search, Regards PapaSmurf Quote

I have spoken to the foundry manager today, and they will be happy to add an extra prong to whichever buckles I choose, for a few pence extra. What a wonderful service! The Sam Browne buckles are unfortunately too narrow to accommodate a 15oz leather, but there are a number of others that would work. I have an account with Abbey, so there should be no problem. Many thanks. Quote
