Lynton McKenzie engraved the master for these buckles back in the 80s and I think they're die struck. For $40 you have a very nice reproduction of Lynton's engraving that's as nearly as good as having the real thing. I have the same buckle and just love it. If nobody wants it I'll buy it.

Making castings available would definitely be nice!

Doesn't hurt the "master" in any way...

Maybe while making the master, make a coupla three?

One for a backup down the road and one for FEGA to add to it's collection?

I'd sure chip in for the mold & casting compounds, and I imagine a few others on here would as well?

Count me in.
Or better yet, send it to Brian who has experience in doing this.

Anyone on here ever done a video on making molds & castings off engraved pieces?

Can't remember ever having seen one... maybe FEGA has one from a seminar session?

I'll look into it.

Found this by Paolo. It's a couple of years old.
