supplies Wholesale source for high-quality buckles

[malabar]

We make a couple of hundred gunbelts a year. They're extremely heavy duty and made of top-quality bridle leather, veg-tan and kydex.  We've been buying our buckles from Buckleguy, which has very high-quality, handcast buckles of solid brass. 

The  problem is they don't have a very wide selection. I'd love to get some buckles that are a little more elegant, or even some that are forged steel or graphite.  But I cannot find other wholesale sources that are of similar quality. 

I've looked at Ohio Travel Bag, but their quality is all over the place. 

Where can I find some really cool, high-quality buckles?

I picked up some solid stainless buckles from Weaver Leather supply, they are from China, but seem decent quality.   Price is not exactly "wholesale," but decent buckles worth looking at.

When I posted it gave me an error and told me the post had not gone through. So I reposted.  I've hidden the duplicates.

We're paying $4 a pop from buckleguy, so Weaver's price doesn't bother me.  But the ones I've seen from weaver don't look as good as the ones I'm getting now.

Well, I don't know what your buckles look like, so here is a hi res photo of some of the ones I have.  They come in brass also.  These are the hand polished stainless steel versions.  At least you can take a gander at them and see if they are what you are looking for.  Ones on the right show made in Taiwan, the rest in China.
