Ta . I'm half way through sewing up a new top for a 1950 Land Rover .. they used the standard 1" brass buckles as seen on many military items ... satchels and many other applications e.g. straps and so on ..

I've salvaged a few buckles from some WW2 water bottle holders..marked with the Canadian C and arrow ( yes, I ripped em apart ) ... the local aussie disposals sells em for $1 ! They also seem to have a endless supply of those bren magazine pouches ... they must have bought thousands of them .
