Medieval Brass Pointed Spectacle Buckles (for 17mm Straps), 1350-1700, Set of 5

You'll receive a set of 5 pieces of authentically styled buckles, crafted from solid brass, which gives them a characteristic golden shine and will develop a lovely patina over time. Each buckle features the typical "spectacle" shape with two loops; one loop is elegantly rounded, while the other extends into a distinct point. Where the loops meet the central pin bar, there are subtle, decorative raised bosses.

Let's get down to the facts: the external dimensions of one buckle are approximately 42.9 x 29.1 mm (approx. 1.69 x 1.15 inches), and it weighs around 10 grams (approx. 0.35 oz). The internal width for the strap is approx. 18.5 mm (approx. 0.73 inches), making these buckles ideal for straps around 17 mm (just under 3/4 inch) wide. The movable pin that secures the strap measures approximately 18.3 mm (approx. 0.72 inches) long.

These aren't just modern replicas; they correspond to buckle types widely used across Europe during the specified period. Historically, they weren't just for holding up trousers! They were indispensable components for straps on plate and leather armour, fastening sword belts and bandoliers, but were also commonly found on footwear, bags, pouches, and even used to secure the lids of chests.

How can you use them today?

This set is absolutely perfect if you're involved in historical fencing, reenactment, LARP (Live Action Role Play), cosplay, or creating theatre costumes. You can easily replace unsightly modern buckles to give your kit – whether it's armour, a gambeson, belt, shoes, bag, or other accessory – that crucial touch of authenticity. They are ideal for any event, from historical fairs and reenactments to themed weddings or stage productions, where you want to stand out with your attention to historical detail and quality craftsmanship.

With this set of five brass buckles, you get not only functional fasteners but also historically faithful and elegant accessories that will elevate your costume or gear to the next level.
