Gun belt buckle

[Rayban]

Can you holster folks direct me to a source for a brass buckle like the one in this picture?

That was the first site I went to when I started looking...but I didn't know enough to look for "Garrison" buckle.

Thanks!

With respect the original buckle is not a garrison buckle but a California Clip corner buckle, which was the most widely used gunbelt buckle during the 1870-90's - one source is here - http://www.hansons.net/servlet/Detail?no=58 (these are good solid brass - not cast pot metal which is then brass plated)

The original is 1.5" and was nickle plated brass - you can see some of the plating along the edges.

Better yet. Go with a buckle like on page 6 of that book.
