Also for a beautiful pewter button but I lost it on the way out hopefully I'll find it when I return. Had it wrapped in a white Kleenex. And there's quite a bit of snow. Maybe in a few weeks I'll spot it easier. If I can find the route I left... 2 mile walk through rugged terrain
That is a dream buckle!! I would be going absolutely nuts if I dug that buckle. That thing is also an amazing find because it is complete. I really like the buttons and other buckle too! Looks like an amazing hunt!!!
I've never seen one in person, but have seen a couple listed in Whiteheads Buckle book. Towards the back I believe. Personally I've only found tinned steel shoe buckles with steel chapes
To the OP - amazing buckle. Most certainly preserve that chape to prevent deterioration. I'm amazed that steel lasted so well.
