Medieval Hand-Forged Iron Buckles – D-Shaped, Oil Black Finish (Set of 5 – Multiple Sizes)

Description

Bring timeless authenticity to your leather projects with this set of five hand-forged iron buckles, styled after historical examples found across Viking, Norman, and medieval European contexts. Each buckle is carefully shaped using hammer-and-anvil techniques and finished with a protective oil-black coating that offers both rustic charm and mild corrosion resistance.

Their rounded D-shape and built-in prong make them highly versatile for fastening belts, attaching armor components, or finishing off medieval-style pouches and bags. These buckles were widely used between the early Middle Ages and the Renaissance, favored for their simplicity, durability, and low-snag design—crucial on the battlefield or in daily wear.

The strength of the integrated prong ensures reliability far beyond that of modern pressed steel alternatives, making these buckles ideal for anyone crafting with authenticity in mind.
