I hate to start a whole new thread for this, but all the others I've found here are old enough to be closed already, so I can't add this into those conversations.
I wanted to share a source I just found for brass buckles accommodating 2-1/2 inch belts.

Here are some selections for the 2-1/2" size....
Dragoon Buckle (with keeper)
Dragoon Buckle (reverse view)
Cyma Buckle, Old, 18c
Buckle: Garrison, 18c, Plain
They aren't the cheapest I've found (cost-wise), but it's A) nice to finally find some, and B) nice to find a few styles other than the plain flat rectangle.
Now I just can't decide which one I want....
