Hi John, very nice Nolte Lufte buckle

any chance and more pics of the belt? Stitching, leather thickness etc?

Thanks

**john31** · 03-05-2010, 03:55 PM

yes Ben i can take somemore pics, those were the only pics i took but not a problem. Do you see something odd with the belt?

**john31** · 03-05-2010, 04:47 PM

Ok Ben the info you requested, i measured the belt with a pair of dial calipers, the measurement came out to .172 give or take/ or between 11/64ths or 3/16ths. thats the thickness of the just the belt it self, measured around the middle part. thanks john

John, these pics give a better look at the belt. At first glance I thought the belt might have been a repro but having seen the wear on the rear it looks ok. Is the stitching three ply thread? It looks it!

Ben you are right on it is 3 ply thread, i looked through my 10x eye loop and can see 3 threads clear as day! once again i learn something new here everyday! Thanks Ben.
