    USMC Buckles

    Here's a couple of buckles I made last week,

    These are for my 3" belt, I purchased two Western buckles at the flea market for around $15 each and added a $10 cover emblem from the army/navy store.




    These are the before pics....




    These are the After.....

    OK - OK - Now I have to dig out those old western belts and buckles and see what I can do. You now seem to have things for all events!

    They look just fine. But, I'd say they're more suited for a pair of Wranglers than a kilt. Just my opinion...

    I will try to post pics of the full outfit, 3" Belt, USMC Chrome Buckle, USMC Leather Sporran, Leatherneck Kilt, USMC Kilt Pin, Glenngarry with USMC Clan Crest and my new Irish Marine T-Shirt I purchased this past weekend at the Game in Ft Lauderdale.

    Looks good! Is a little flashy for me but I admire it. How did you dismantle the old buckle without damaging it?
