looks pretty good to me. Did you make the blank yourself? What is it made of , steel & brass?

Looks very nice!
If you want even more contrast between the buckle and the engaving, you might consider "browning" or "blueing" the buckle first, then engraving it.
I like the buckles made like that, without a tongue, makes them more wearable in my opinion.
Once again, very nice!

I have seen some of your other buckles on the bit, buckle & spur forum and I have got to
say that there is very noticeable improvement with this piece in particular. You keep on
advancing forward. Nice job!
