Gents, I would appreciate pointers or thoughts on sterling silver buckles.
These would be for a pair of monk-strap shoes in the works. And If needed I could always change buckles on a pair I have in my current rotation. Stefano Bemer has sterling silver buckles on a pair of monk-strap shoes, they age beautifully. I could of course talk to a silversmith, but stock items would be nice.

Again all thoughts and pointers are most welcome.

thanks!

Poursin in Paris is a harness and belt buckle supplier and may supply smaller buckles in silver.

You could consider the Western custom silversmiths, of which there are many in America; buckles are their core business and the price is quite reasonable. They make stock buckle sets for very thin ladies' ranger belts, which would be about the size you are after. In a plainer design, they would look pretty good. There are many of them, Vogt is a maker that comes to mind. Hope this helps

Also there's a guy in England who makes excellent silver belt buckles, perhaps he can set you up with shoe buckles. I forget his name but I used him a few years ago.

although at a quick glance. I cannot find any buckles less than 1" (25 mm)
