This Medieval Brass Belt Buckle is inspired by the practical fittings that secured garments and equipment throughout centuries of European history. From the early Middle Ages to the Renaissance, small rectangular buckles like this one were commonly used to fasten belts around tunics, secure sword scabbards to a warrior’s waist or cinch up leather pouches for safe transport of valuables.
The simplicity of the form—clean lines, a sturdy tongue pin and a smooth brass finish—made this style a mainstay across cultures, from Norman knights to 14th-century merchants. Unlike modern mass-produced buckles, this version is crafted from solid brass, ensuring a satisfying heft, durability and resistance to corrosion.
Over time, the brass will develop a handsome patina that reflects the natural aging of historical metalwork, lending your gear even more authenticity. Whether you are outfitting a Viking kit, creating an arming belt for your gambeson or designing a medieval-inspired everyday belt, this buckle offers both function and heritage.
The proportions are carefully balanced: wide enough to accommodate a sturdy 2.3 cm strap while remaining visually refined. The tongue pin sits securely inside punched adjustment holes, providing a dependable closure you can trust.

USAGE:
1. Prepare the end of your belt or strap with a slot wide enough to accept the buckle bar.
2. Slide the buckle onto the leather, positioning the tongue pin through the slit.
3. Secure the buckle with rivets, stitching or lacing.
4. Punch adjustment holes along the belt as needed.
5. Thread the strap through the buckle and fasten with the tongue pin.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Wipe clean after each use.
• Store in a dry place to prevent moisture-related tarnishing.
• If desired, polish occasionally with a brass cloth for a brighter shine, or let it age naturally for a more authentic patina.

USAGE:
• Medieval costume belts
• Historical scabbards and sword belts
• LARP leatherwork
• Custom pouches or bags
• Everyday heritage-style belts⭐
