Buckles use inside measurments

[JohnD]

I have been looking for a decent brass buckle for a 3/4" strap. I came across one that I liked here. http://leatherunltd.com/hardware/buckles/brass.html . But I was wondering if anyone might know if there is a standard way to list the size of the buckle? ie: If it described as a 3/4" buckle, is that the inside dimension or the width of the buckle itself?

Also, has anyone done any business with Leather Unlimited? Their sales dept. couldn't answer my question, There was a lot of backround noise on her end and she kept interrupting me to tell me she couldn't hear me and I am definitely not a soft talker,so anyway, she referred me to customer service (a toll number) and it was a recording telling me to leave a message and they would get back to me. This would normally be enough to send me away, but I've been looking for about 3 days for these solid brass buckles and the price is very good. If anyone has an alternative I would appreciate it. It has to be solid brass and if it were cast that would be better. Unpolished and unfinished cast brass would be best.

Thanks, John

JohnD.... Measurments on the Buckles will be an inside measurments.

Thanks Luke, That's what I was hoping (about the measurements).

I checked Siegel's website and didn't see what I need. Their brass is laquered and I want these to tarnish. Casting marks would be an added bonus, if I can Find them. Thanks again for the response.
