Ok, there's one on here that's solid BRONZE! He does very nice work. It is some big dosh though. BTW, his other products are beautiful too.

This is the WWII Nazi Eagle, which is quite different:

Thanks for the info. There's a number stamped inside the belt that I mistakenly thought was a date of manufacture - 6-65-41. (Germans use a 65 day month don't they?) Ok ok, I didn't look at it closely before.

It is a very nice belt. It's in great shape too. And it was free. My brother sources clothes for a vintage clothing store in Toronto and he got it for me. Now that I look at it again I realize it's actually a bit wider than I remembered. I'll wear it more often!

And this is why I'm coveting your buckle:

This is actually an amalgam of a German Heraldic eagle with a Swedish one, now for a Rampant Lion on my calf and I have most of my family heritage covered...

I really like that round buckle! That's going on the list.

Wow, that guy is right up the interstate from me.

I'll have to have a closer look at his stuff next time we go visit my folks.

So that is where you got that beautiful buckle that you wore on tartan day!

Don's work is excellent! I have one of his Eagle Globe and Anchor kilt pins in pewter. Very solid piece of work.

Hi Rob,

Haven't heard from you in a while. How's the reading of "How the Scots Invented the Modern World" going?

Don't know if you got an answer to your question, but whatever you do, DON'T buy anything from a vendor called "Great S***" in Indiana. I placed an order, it wasn't delivered & when I asked for an explanation, none was forthcoming.

I was shocked at being so ill-treated by a fellow Scot.

I was thinking of writing up a warning, but I don't know if it's allowed. If I did, I would be as cryptic with the name as I am now.

Check out "A Wee Bit of Scotland" - John Dunn's store in Orillia - & a nicer man you'll never meet.

Happy Hallowe'en!
