: Hello everyone,
: I recently bought a belt with a buckle that looks pretty close to the Raiders gunbelt. It didn't have a metal keeper, so I went to the hardware store to find some nickel plated wire (or something) to make a matching metal keeper. I got some nickel plated "D" rings to bend straight, and then into a rectangle shape to make the keeper.
: I started to beat myself shortly after I realized that the "D" ring looks more like the Raiders buckle than the buckle I had purchased. It cost me an entire 35 cents! I'm just going to pull the center toungue off an old buckle, and throw it together.
: Anyway, please tell me what you think (if you are interested). I think it looks sharp, and the price can't be beat.
: I'm going to take an aspirin,
