All the English have verdigris on them .

So far no more buckles, my new job is not allowing me time to make more designs. I have only one Spanish buckle left ( but it has a cracked center rod, I will heliarch weld it) . Still have six English buckles to sell.

I sent you the Paypal info in a private message

Yes I still have both English and French.

That is awesome :) . The buckle looks mighty fine on ya

Can't see anything on your link.

The English belt buckle can work as a baldric buckle giving a half inch on either side of a 3 inch belt. The space inside can accept up to a 4 inch width.

I decided to go with modified steel cotter pins. I tried it out on all three of the designs and so far it works and looks great. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm currently working on the buckle center pin. I have encountered a problem though and I need your help. I've been using brass rod and it will not handle the bends needed and keeps breaking. Dont know of any place that carries bronze rod. I can make them out of steel if that is not a problem.

I have not petinaed the Spanish buckles due to the nature of the design I have wire brushed them that gives them a semi polished apperance. The French buckles are all petinaed and all the English are green petinaed. The Spanish as you see it in the pic still has some of the original fire scale to it from casting giving it a darker patinaed look even though I did wire brush it as well. Over time being bronze it will darken naturally as time passed and you can choose to repolish as you desire. The other two that are petinaed I would not suggest polishing but you can make them shinnier.

All the Spanish buckles are sold. I now have all the buckles in from the foundry and am currently putting the finishing touches on them such as the tongs and petina. Will start sending them out through out next week. I'm excited to get these out there.

I only have one Spanish buckle left. In the future more will be made but only depending on the demand. Still have more French and English to move out the door.

Just got off the phone with the foundry and he said the buckles will be cast first thing next week. The molds have already been made.

They are in Wisconsin. I went with them because they are the closest lost wax casting company to where I live.

I will call the casting company on wednesday for a status update. They contacted me a couple days after they received the buckles and said that the buckles had started the mold process. With fingers crossed I'm hoping they will be done before his first estimated time. Will let you Know what I find out.
