The old RAF ones were similar and brass might be worth having a Google for one?

Aye Up Forestfella,

This company - DesignGo -used to make stainless steel roll pin buckles - don't know if they are still on the go - let us know if you find them.

Or - I believe that the Austrian surplus waist belt is canvas with a brass roll pin buckle, if you don't mind the eagle insignia might be worth a look.

Just in case you are not aware of it - beware of nylon/polycotton belts with a roll pin buckle - I have found that after a while the material becomes polished through friction and the pin doesn't grip properly.

I'd be wary of these ones, I think it's just brass coated or coloured. I had a few in my time.

Mine is stainless steel… identical to yours in every other respect… but unfortunately I didn't buy it, so I have no idea where it comes from.

Just sand blast the nickel off that one. It might be brass underneath.
