So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it."

Members oldtimer Posted April 17, 2009 Members Report Posted April 17, 2009 If you look for bridle buckles for the civil war period Weaver has the #121 SB buckle . / Knut Quote "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...
Members Sparks Posted July 1, 2010 Members Report Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) If you look for bridle buckles for the civil war period Weaver has the #121 SB buckle . / Knut I have to agree with Military Repro01...Hanover brass is the most outstanding CW buckle company out there. I have several of his buckles...I used to portray a NC soldier, and therefore have NC starburst buttons of his on my 7-button shell jacket, plus a couple/three of his NC State seal two-piece sword buckles. Also picked up one of his Texas star buckles--2-piece sword buckle. His are best because he has outstanding originals and he makes the copies from sandcasts of those buckles...every one a 'first generation' belt buckle. Great guy to work with. Mention my name and you might get a slight nod of recognition...no discounts...just a slight nod of recognition. I send ALL CW reenactors to Gary Williams at Hanover Brass. I love his stuff. And no, I am not paid to say this. Check out the buckles on his page...especially opening some of the thumbnails so you can see the sharp detail of his pieces. Of course, he has northern as well as southern buckles...plus others. The buckles from the various states (including NY, MA, KY, TX, LA, SC and CA) are absolutely outstanding.
