GenTLe 1,485 Posted July 11, 2015 Just to let you know, I have searched and searched for a good torpedo buckle for my 382. Currently there is a 50% discount here, and it's by far the best price I have seen on these. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/926332 (the buckle page is this: http://www.aliexpres...1942682874.html ) The piece is this one: Then, if you want something more artistic (but it's more expensive) and made of real pink bronze and not of yellow one that looks like brass, look here: http://blackforest-a...er.com/?lang=en You can find there pieces like these: Or, if you're a weirdo, one of these: Beware of the yellow bronze/brass, the effect isn't great: Cheers, GenTLe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted July 11, 2015 Thanks GenTLe, just ordered one. Great find. Now all I have to do is get my fucking 382 working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted July 11, 2015 That's where I bought mine Alex. They come in the most amazing packaging for just a buckle. I was a little worried it was a going to be too yellow for my 382 but after a while once the patina started to develop it now looks perfect, I'm wearing it today and here is a picture. you can see the colours are very similar now.

The BF ones are great, but frankly 80$ for a buckle are a bit too much for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubic Hare 494 Posted July 12, 2015 I meant the Ali one. Vagenari I think is the seller you linked, The packaging was exquisite like fine jewellery. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSJ 0 Posted September 21, 2015 Realised I hadn't posted pics. Really pleased with the buckle, thanks again for the link GenTLe. Only fitted it properly today so the patina hasn't really developed yet. I reckon the colour is fine. I see the price is up to $68 again on Ali. I paid half that. Yes I know the strap is too short. Bain of my life. Just in the process of ordering a JohnG Ammo custom sized. Did anyone find any plain bronze buckles on Ali? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
