I searched long and hard for the brass buckle that I found on the Metal Field Shop website. It was the only one coming even close to one I'd bought 25 or more years ago in Colorado and that I wanted to give to a friend. I ordered it, expecting to be disappointed given the less-than-$10 price. It arrived within a week, and I couldn't have been happier! It's a jewel -- beautifully solid brass and exactly the dimensions it promised to be. The Metal-Field Shop can be deeply proud of what it's doing!
