Members DrmCa Posted February 4, 2018 Members Report Posted February 4, 2018 This is about 3/4"-7/8" wide buckle from a mixed lot of leather hardware. For the life of me I cannot figure how to use the loop on the left. Can anyone with experience with this sort of buckles point me in the right direction? Much appreciated!

Contributing Member fredk Posted February 4, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted February 4, 2018 You could mount it on the belt as a keeper It could also be used on a medieval type as the loop before the belt knot Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members DrmCa Posted February 4, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 4, 2018 Yes, I know that the piece on the left is a keeper. The question is - how do I use it? Is the current rotation correct, or upside down, or turned about, etc?

Mark842 Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 The keeper should be oriented so the belt enters the keeper with the direction of the bevel so the belt will be easier to put through and will lay flatter. Quote
Northmount Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 I would say rotate the keeper 180 degrees so it will lay flatter when you pull the belt end through it. Tom Quote
