A replica of a 14th-15th century AD buckle. This is a direct copy of a buckle excavated in Brockdish, Norfolk, England; nonetheless this was a common design from roughly 1320 to 1420 and was widespread throughout Europe. This is a sturdy, cast double-frame buckle comprising two addorsed D-shaped loops with subtriangular outer edges. The pin is cast as D-section spike with a small semicircular pad on the outer face; it is formed round the central bar of the buckle on which it runs freely.

Bought a dozen to accessorize my armour & outfits. Better quality than I expected, not rough cast. Cheaper than at the leather supply outlets. Unknown on 19th Nov 2021

Perfect armour buckles for reenactors. Not only are they historic replicas, but they are beautiful, sturdy solid brass & they are great value. I have used these before. You may want to pinch the prong a bit tighter to the bar with a pair of pliers etc if you are a perfectionist . Will not dissapoint. Michael Beswick on 14th Feb 2018
