TradGang belt and buckle that larry Surtees made and generously offered on a number of the St. Jude bidding forums this year?

Well I was lucky enough to win one, and it looks great! I took a quick close-up of it this AM, (hoping I was guessing right - LOL). It came out pretty good IMO:

Might just be another item you perhaps want to try harder to win next year - just a thought

Those are too cool, gonna try for one next year

Bernie,
That just looks "righteous" on those six-pack abs too! LOL. I'm afraid when I catch up to you my gut may be a 12- pack (or even a case)
Congrats.

ya i like that. i got one of his grand daughter's necklaces but i'd like a belt buckle as well next time round

LOL - thanks, guys but I think perhaps I must have unconsciously "sucked it up" just to tilt the buckle toward the lens better.

Looking good Bernie, Larry did a great job on them.

LOL - some of my best friends are "Keggers", Mudd.

Larry really does work nice with his leather craft, doesn't he, LONGSTYKES? I also have one of his key ring tabs made of Benjy's Al G. Gator, that Benjy sent me. Very nice.

You old fellow Jarhead. You keep yourself trim enough to showoff that buckle. No muffin top or Dunlop for you.

Bernie my waist hasn't been that small since boot camp.

I've got one of the first, before Larry became so famous!

I was wondering what in the world became of this thread. I couldn't seem to find it for awhile there. Of course sometimes I can't find things in my own house - :D

I've had a lot of nice comments about the TG belt/buckle this past week, and I wear (alternate) some pretty fancy ones all the time. One a handsome hand carved Elk, on Elk burr, by Frank and Shell, and one a beautiful, hand painted Big Horn Sheep (also on an Elk burr). That one is an old, high glossed one that is signed and dated and I found in a flea market. Now I'll alternate the three of them, for the children of St. Jude.
