WANTED: Pair of GoFs Shoe Buckles


PoD

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a pair of shoe buckles made by Gentlemen of Fortune that they want to part with? I could really do with a pair and I dont think GoF is selling them anymore as I havent had any emails about them answered.

He does not sell them any more.. And has generously passed the patent (in a manner of speaking) over to me.... However... I have dragged my feet over the last year having a new batch of them made, despite more than a few inquiries about them. I guess I am going to have to stop dragging my feet about this and actually get them done. Although it may take me a few months to get the ball rolling on this.

I don't want to steal business from Bagley, but if now's not a good time for him to crank out some buckles I might have an extra set or two somewhere.

Your not stealing business at all! If you have em, sell em! :D I've been saying I will get that whole deal going in "a month or two" for at least a year now, I would trust someone who has them ready to sell over my "it'll get done eventually" any day. :ph34r:

I definitely have a spare pair of the tarnished brass buckles which I would happily part with for $30+shipping (that's what GoF charged - no markup for a fellow pubster!) I think I also have a pair of silver plated, which if I can find would be $35. Let me know, PoD!

Its true.

I handed the keys to magic buckle land over to M B some time ago. Even sold him a ton of original buckles as well, so he is officially the new buckle King.

But, I can sleep soundly at night knowing that there are at leas 100 folks walking around with the right buckles on their shoes.

sigh....
