The big belt buckle has gone back to its owner. When I posted here,
I had already decided I didn’t think I could do the job. But I was
still trying to educate myself on how it would be done if I were to
attempt it. Who knows, I may need to do some other large piece in the
future. While inspecting the buckle under a very bright light, I
discovered a nearly worn-off copyright mark and company name on the
back of it, dated 1978. I’m definitely not going there. If the guy
still wants one done in sterling, he’ll have to find someone else.
