Trying To Find U.s Emboosed Brass Buckle For M1916 1911 Pistol Belt

[johnggrg]

I am trying to find a source or a place to buy a U.S embossed brass buckle for a M1916 1911 pistol belt I am trying to make. I am already making the holster and mag pouch and thought it would be cool to make the belt to. So does anyone know where to find the buckle for it? I have searched the web and can't find one so thought I would ask here. I am adding a picture of what it looks like. Thank you. John

John,

Try www.cooncreekoldwest.com: they have the 1904 Garrison belt, which has a buckle that looks very close to what you are looking for.

Also, www.carricoleather.com he has Civil War era buckles and may make/locate the exact 1916 buckle you are looking for.

I got mine from coon creek. Buck is recovering from surgery last I heard so keep trying until you get them.
