I have a square brass buckle that has been around with me for way many years and different waist sizes. I use a 2" belt.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that one of the more common belt buckles was a square, non-clipped, center bar made of steel/iron and wide enough for a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" belt.
Been having a real hard time finding one.....
First I got the "nickel plated" one sold by Tandy. I figured I could heat up the plating and chip it off. Well it was actually lead so I just belted the buckle. There are some brass buckles around but the steel was what I wanted.
In any event, what do most of you have/use? Any good buckle sources? This would be for the belt into which the knife sheath is stuck, etc.
Thanks,
Dave
