Luke's Belt from ANH detail Question

[Psab keel]

Alright here are the pictures I promised. Sorry it took so long to get these up. As you can see the rivet post fits perfectly into the back of the snap head cap. Once you sandwich the leather between the two and tap the rivet in with a hammer (using a snap post setter which maintains the dome shape of the snap head) you get a nice secure, and good looking cap to hold your belt buckle to the leather strap of your belt.

******* ag.... EXCELLENT FINDS!

Also, to add to my posts regarding the snap caps for the belt buckle, I found that Tandy Leather's Eco Flo Bison Brown Leather Dye matches the brown color perfectly! The Snap caps I used were Dritz Heavy Duty Snaps in Brown.

Wow,

First time I actually saw a picture of the that posted anywhere. Must agree this is a great find. Great research.

I forgot that I took this picture a while back. This is just the complete belt. No pouches, no d-ring or saber hooks. But it should give you an idea of what the Bison Brown dye looks like with the Dritz brown snaps.
