Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ***SHOE BUCKLES AVAILABLE NOW!*** Take a look (also at my Footware Site) These were made up from an original in my collection. This style would be good throughout the GAoP, and will take 3/4th inch (or 19mm) latch. They are currently "IN STOCK" I got hit up for some heavy shipping/import/customs charges (I am in Germany) that were unforeseen, so I have had to raise my price a bit. Brass Buckles $30 Silver Buckles $35 Set of each $60 If interested, please send me a PM or E-mail.

William Brand Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I am very interested. I need buckles for the shoes I plan to get in October, so let me know when you have them. I may want two pairs in anticipation of future shoes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick MacAnselan Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have some authentic shoe buckles at the foundry now, and should be available for mid October.Take a look (also, this is one of Kevin Garlick's shoes.) and These were made up from an original in my collection. This style would be good throughout the GAoP, and will take about a 3/4th inch latch. When they are available, I will be selling them for $25 a set (2) shipped. That is at least $5 cheaper than the later buckles everyone else is selling. Let me know if any of you are interested. Greg aka GoF GoF, Count me in for a pair. Thanks.

Captain Midnight Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Count me in, too, Greg. I will need a proper pair when I make my shoes over the winter. "Now then, me bullies!

McBarnacle Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello Greg,Any news on these buckles yet? There are several people who have earmarked a pair for themselves here in the UK. I can testify to that. I've got a pair of latchet shoes on the way and should be delivered any day now that are sorely in need of a pair of buckles!

Patrick Hand Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 How many pairs of shoe buckles did you order.... or... If everyone that said they want a pair sends the money, will you have any left.....? I want to get a pair.... but don't have the money right now... Should I panic and go rob a little Old lady, or will you still have some next month? <Yah... $35 isn't that much, but no one pays us untill after the New Year> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would get the buckles in just as I finished spending my money away on Christmas stuff. Will you have enough for those of us that desperately want them but can't buy them until next month? I want a pair of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Just a heads up... If you have bought some from me. I have already air mailed them out to you!

Tall Paul Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 like everyone else, I am suffering from the Christmas gift poverty. Hopefully some of the outstanding cheques will turn up in the new year. In the mean Time I shall Check with the rest of C.H.E.S. to see if anyone else wants a pair. If anyone from the UK is planning on coming to the Pilgrimage to Execution Dock in February, (See Raids) . I could take delivery and hand them out there, in order to save on postage.

McBarnacle Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Again, if you have paid in the last few days, Your buckles are already on the way too you via airmail.....Chloe, yours went this morning! Greg Hi Greg, Just to let you know that my buckles arrived safe and sound this morning - and very nice they are too! A nice little Christmas present to myself they've turned out to be (to go with the shoes, powder horn and belt I recently ordered for myself) - and, at least, I got something I really wanted rather than smellies or socks. My family never normally get me anything even remotely pirate related no matter how many hints I drop. To be fair, though, they did pay for the shoes I ordered. That means it's only taken them 4 years to get the hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Most excellent sir, I received my shoe buckles today and they are marvelous. They are both beautiful and unique. The handcrafted, hand-finished look of each buckle lends them a subtle antiquated appearance which makes them all the more authentic for their minute flaws. I couldn't be happier with them. I like them more the longer I study them. Now all I need are the shoes to put them on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman of Fortune Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 For the brass ones, if you put them in a plastic container, suspended above a bit of ammonia, the brass will react and really give them an "old" appearance. Don't put them in the liquid, just the fumes from the ammonia are enough, and it doesn't take too long. I'd start with about an hour... overnight and they will look about 200 years old! Greg aka GoF ps Thanks for the kind words... The crazy thing is, they really are hand made.

William Brand Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks for the kind words... The crazy thing is, they really are hand made. And with all of the old world flavor. I've put them away until I can buy my shoes, but thank you for the aging instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
