Belt buckles

[BrentD]

How about a "First Loser Buckle"?



Maybe next year I can improve on that. So many times a bridesmaid....

Just got something new to add to this thread, and it’s something that isn’t pink for once!

This is the only buckle I've got, from the only time I kept score.

I would love to have one of these one day. I would display it in my office.

With all the work you do with RMEM, @Big Fin , how many cool RMEF trinkets you got??

This is such a nice buckle….

I only have two buckles, and no fancy belt to put them on. Like @Leinenkugelsfreak said, custom buckles always cut into my stomach so i haven’t had any interest in wearing them.

Not a buckle guy but it would be cool to throw this on once in a while.

The real deal

This was a gift from my brother about thirty years ago. It's a Barlow scrimshaw buckle. I believe they are still made. Lots of different patterns: dogs, ducks, turkeys, etc. I just noticed this one is cracked. It's on the belt that holds my shell box for shooting trap/skeet. Not a huge buckle, it's barely wider than the belt.

Since this has been brought back to the top, I guess I'll share my EDW buckle (Everyday wear)

Lower Yellowstone River agate belt buckle crafted by my late fellow Army Vietnam helicopter pilot buddy who lived on the river in Forsyth and collected and polished rocks.
As members of the Montana Army Guard unit that took over operations at the old Montana prison when the state employees went on strike, we purchased artwork and handcrafted items from the inmates. The horsehair belt was crafted by a Native American member of the Native American Indian Alliance which had a strong chapter located in the prison.

I have three buckles and they are all from RMEF. I suppose you could say I have been a lifelong supporter.

This first one I won in a raffle at a banquet when I was probably 10 years old. I was not very excited about it at the time, but now I love it!



This next one cost a pretty penny, but I was single so still had disposable income. I am really happy I got it when I did.





This last one was the annual buckle for the inaugural banquet in Southeast Virginia. I was the Chairman of the committee and am very proud we held a successful banquet 8 months after forming a 5 person committee from scratch. My dad bought it in the auction and gave it to me later as a gift.

I will admit that it isn’t as cool as some, but it has some flair for being the most efficient utilitarian belt I have found so far. I have one for work and one for everyday/hunting/fishing/etc. Google “Grip6”
