Buckle and Hardware supplier?

[xaman]

Hey fellas,

Does anyone know where to find antiqued hardware -- specifically buckles and d-rings (or o-rings)???

I normally buy at Tandy, but was hoping to find some color options beyond nickel and brass...

THANKS.

age them yourself - that's how I get the aged ones......

For nickel plated - Birchwood Casey Super Blue is a start

For Brass

Just be sure to use any of these on either solid brass or nickel over solid brass and not the plated zinc buckles....
