...in a most unusual place? I just finished reading "High Crimes", by Michael Kodas, which is about climbing Everest (and what a deadly, dangerous, crowded, corrupt, sh**showdumpsterfire that circus has become over the last 20 yrs or so!!!). In the photos there was a shot of Tibetan women selling various things to the HORDES of people who make the trek to the high Himalaya during the brief climbing season. I wish there had been a better close-up of their belt buckles- those looked incredible!

A friend will be making that trek this summer, just climbing to the base camp. I'll ask him to concentrate on the belt buckles and bring one back if they're fairly reasonable.

that may well outweigh the largest/heaviest i ever made.
1/4" thick brass for a blackpowder reenactor. it was a beast. as i recall, the d ring was for 3" leather. i'm curious about the ring below the buckle. is it part of the buckle ?
