Hay Merry Christmas to you guy's also No it is a military style Magnum one just like he used on the show, it was hard to figure out how to make the magnum lettering raised but got it figured out now putting the finnishing touches on it should be able to see it real soon.

If anyone knows were to get the blank buckles please share, I can only get them from Vanguard industries with emblems mounted on them already.
I have to take the emblem off and fill in the mounting holes before I can start to make it up, its not impossable but time consuming.
Thanks Robbie

I wish I knew Robbie, this was a project I wante to do as well..NEVER could find a blank one either. Tried to figure out where the companies were getting theirs...but never did. CANT WAIT to see the buckles....so wanted one of them for quite awhile.

Hi Robbie,
Like "Only Looking" said, we tried for a long time to find blank buckles. The closest I was able to find were Zippo buckles on Ebay, but they are rare, expensive, and not the right size. I'm dying to see what you've come up with. I can't wait to see it knowing the quality of your work. Please post picture ASAP.
The ring looks great. Kind of reminds me of a class ring. I wish these had been around when I was in high school, I'd most likely have gotten one instead of my actual class ring. Really great work as usual.

The only place I could think of for the buckles are surplus stores. If you know someone in the militray you can see if they would buy you some in bulk. Nice work on the rings!

Did you get the size of that one? It looks to me like the standard size (Narrow) buckle. Magnum's was wider than the standard one. I know you used the Hap Arnold buckle,
and removed the emblem, and that it didn't have mounting holes, but how big of a pain in the butt is it to have the buckle refinished?
