Well, as long as I've been at this, I still see something new to me all the time.

Here's a buckle that has the standard button design on it.

The description speaks of it as being especially designed to match the buttons on formal jackets. Talk about matchy-matchy! If true.

(BTW I did a thread quite a while back about that Gaelic inscription on buttons, as being hard to decipher because of 1) poorly re-cast buttons 2) potential malformation of certain letters or misspelling and 3) the fact that some of the words don't appear in my Gaelic dictionary.)

Interesting.

His out of focus photo doesn't help matters, either. :shock:
