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.

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.

Count me in, too, Greg. I will need a proper pair when I make my shoes over the winter. :lol:

If ever we all get together we'll have to tell people we plundered a buckle factory!

You can count me in for a pair too GOF, I shall ask around amongst the UK Pirates to see if anyone else is interested.

Tall Paul.

You can count me in Paul. I'm looking at getting a pair of shoes and they don't come supplied with buckles so those would be perfect.

Any news on these Greg? I'm going to be needing some buckles soon & would love to get in on these if possible.

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! :ph34r:

Every truck that goes by my house sends me running to the door to check and see if its a delivery....

Or in other words, I expect them any day this week. I will send out a post as soon as I get the pack open and check them out!

Thanks for waiting!

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>

What Patrick said.

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.

Pat, it's Christmas, it's time to enjoy yourself! So...

Rob the Old Lady for the fun of it!

Then use the profits to buy some buckles as a kind of bonus

:huh:

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.

Hi Greg,

Just to let you know that my buckles arrived safe and sound this morning - and very nice they are too! :lol:

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. :lol::lol:

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!

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...

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!

Thanks for the kind words... The crazy thing is, they really are hand made.
