My source told me that Peter Markowski is taking care of the buckles. He called the supplier to get the ball rolling and it was three weeks before they got back to him. And when they did, they said they were awfully busy right now, they weren't sure.....  
 I hope it all works out, but I'm sure there are other manufacturers out there that would welcome the business if the one we now have doesn't come through.                              oleblu
