Passed down(?) from my Grandpa. Dated 1978 from when he was able bodied enough to ride his old Triumph. I’ll wear it for as long as it lasts.

I had a brass belt once, was heavy enough to use for self defense in a pinch

The leather seems to have held up extremely well considerung how old it is. Has it been changed, or is it all original?

I think he is just talking about the buckle. Belt is probably new.

The belt is brand new. Lol. I guess I wasn’t super clear about what I was taking about.

I’ll be honest I didn’t know who that was but I’m glad I looked it up. No he is not Ted Simon. He’s a damn fine man though.

For as long as it lasts? It will probably outlast you, your kids and their kids. Very cool buckle.

I think that just adds to the sentimental value, showing how much it has been used by OP's grandfather.

I could hit it with some brasso but it looks fine to me so I’ll leave it.
