Three more that I picked up this weekend

1930s. Had a beat up '70s buckle on it when I got it, I added a repro '30s one, which would be close to what it would have come with when new.


1950s


1950s

Nice "Whirling Log" on the repop buckle. We have that image woven into a vintage basket we display and have had to explain it more than once to guests. Damn Nazis ...

Here's a custom made 1.75-inch wide belt crafted from leather pieces of vintage Swedish ammo pouches that were painstakingly cut, conditioned and sewn together. The hammered stainless steel buckle was hand forged. She's got character!

Japan made garrison belts are cool too. I wear them with jeans all the time.

Any guesstimate to the age of that top one?

I just found this one at the thrift store. It looks pretty much identical.

Awesome, Cuz. I never find those things. D'man seems to be the knowledgeable one on these, but I don't think he's been on site since 08/16.

Thanks Cuz.

I'd be super stoked if this actually fit me. Unfortunately it's a size 28, but for $2 I figured one of my kids would dig it
