Buckle Collecting in 2012

[Ben Evans]

Well guys, dont know about yourselves but had a really good night and welcomed in the New Year with a bang (lots of fireworks ) and plenty of ale. I hope this year sees your collections grow and brings you in the buckles you desire. If you want to post your wish list then please do so, I will start with mine.

Hey Ben;
I hope to be celebrating new year today; we have got two dogs who are terrified by fireworks, so we sedated them and stayed at home.
Lucky with did because the sedation didn't work for one.
Hell' broke lose at 23.45 and got on until 01.30 ....
Indeed "lots of fireworks" and they say we are in a recession....never had that lot of fireworks.
Best part is that the town forbids the use of fireworks...but apparently they only fine me when I drive my bike with a "t" shirt and slippers!!!

So forget about the buckles....;-) I wish fireworks to be forbidden.
Yes I know I am dreaming!
cheers

Hi guys! Happy New Year! No fireworks in my neck of the woods......given that I pretty much live in the woods - away from any city! LOL!
As for buckles - 2011 was not a bad year....not a stellar one either though. My best buckle of the year was an NSKK from the same batch as Kirby's!
I did end up with some awesome items but they weren't buckles....

For 2012....I'm always on the lookout for unusual buckles. In fact, I'm out there looking for any buckle that is not in my collection already; and there are plenty. Hoping to find and acquire more this year. Let's see what happens.

Have a great 2012 everyone!
Cheers!

Congrats Rob!
I wouldn't mind adding an NSKK like that to my collection this year.
