<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4462980, member: 5398"]The mark is on the loop that looks like an original part of the buckle. I tested that part too, but it didn't seem to test as silver. I'm wondering if the non-plated clip/clasp might have been added later since a leather belt that has a snap on one end could be attached directly to the loop. I tried bending the little teeth up on the clasp so I could remove it, but they didn't budge. On the other hand, it doesn't show when the other end of the belt slides through the buckle. The buckle is the type I usually see with belts made of cotton webbing (like military style).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
