Hucky sent me a sample of his bronze pre-v which arrived today and it is absolutely awesome!...the bronze is a near match to my slightly patined' Moray...it averages 5mm thick with an equally as thick screw bar(thickest I've seen) that holds in the tang itself...overall it is over-built and that is a good thing and the way I have known Hucky to build his buckles.He made me a silver skull & rose buckle a couple years ago that is equally built and I would say both will last forever! ....the bronze pre-v gives the B-Mo that "look" I felt was missing with the ss/buckles and all I can say is I hope Hucky decides to build more of his awesome buckles here in the very near future....(I have been pressing him steadily for a couple years)...I don't know what he intends on price but whatever he decides will be well worth it imho....below I mounted the pre-v on a Jeanna (Stone Creek) "Caramel" strap...

Very cool Oscar... Incredible looking construction in that Bronze buckle design and finish!!!! That is a HOT one!!!  That buckle combined with that incredible Caramel strap from Jeanna at Stone Creek is a perfect match with the B-Mo...Very nicely done!!!  (is that a drop of hot glue I see temporarily holding that buckle screw in place?).

Neat combo, Oscar. I think the buckle is a perfec match andd even if a shade or 2 darker or lighter, will still carry a great patina going forward. Who knows.....after s several months, both case and buckle will match perfectly.

Ah, got it Oscar (it was an illusion based on how I was thinking the bar was attached)...that is one beefy screw for sure!!! Very sweet indeed...I would not mind picking up a couple bronze buckles myself!!! Enjoy that combo!!!
