Several years ago after many years of buying/trading guns I was cleaning out some drawers and ran across several belt buckels that had accumalated over the years mostly different firearm makers eg. colt,ruger,s.w ;also long guns. I decided to place them in a glass wall hanging display and as time went on I would pick up others at yard sales ,flea markets etc. These buckles came in brass,silver,gold tone with varying shades of patena. I really never thought that much about gun makers advertising on buckles but you would be surprised how many and their different shapes and sizes. I get as much satisfaction finding a buckel that I dont have as I do finding a rare gun yet its a LOT CHEAPER and my wife helps find/purchase them also where she'd never buy a gun for me. I know people collect buckels but mine is 100% firearm related. Just thought some of you might consider trying this for a cheaper hobby and challenge. If anybody collects them also I have some duplcates I'd be willing to trade for ones I dont have. Thanks
