I have one trophy buckle somewhere in my junk. Take a look at old Remington or Charlie Russell paintings. Those guys NEVER wore belts. The things cut you in half riding all day and one of those big buckles can ( and has) lacerated livers in a wreck. Anyway, 30 carbine gave the answer. Just watch out for buckle bunnies and other fellas that have to one up you. We had a drugstore hero show up with progressively bigger buckles to best everyone. I finally 'borrowed' a cadillac hubcap and wore it <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
