lach470 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Hey gang! Thought I'd show my newest buckle. A nicely worn two piece (unmarked) Fire/Police buckle that has been burnished in black. Now I have all three: a police buckle, a harbour police buckle and this fire/police buckle.She's a welcome addition to my collection so I thought I'd share some pics with you guys! Cheers![attachmentid=53101]

Paul R Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Missed seeing this the first time around. Congrats. nice set! Really like the fire police buckle!--dj--JoeI have never seen a black burnished buckle before. Was this a common practice?
lach470 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 Thanks guys! Paul...to answer your question: the only example that I know of is this type of police buckle. I can't recall seeing any other buckles that were done this way! These are not as common as the regular police buckles. Glad you like 'em guys!Cheers!Rob
lach470 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 Hey gang! I've done a little work and found out that there were more examples of buckles that were aluminum and burnished in black. There's a perfect example on page 647 of Angolia's buckles and brocades book that shows a National forestry official's buckle that is also burnished in black.So, that being said, there must be even more examples of buckles that have this burnish to them.Cheers!Rob
