Title: Cast belt buckle FC Post by: Digger on September 01, 2003, 12:47:34 PM Hi guy's,
I was given a cast belt buckle today in the shape of an FC, it is 100mm long and around 40mm wide and on the back it has a cast No and a bit of history about the FC also it has the manufacturers name (Leffler/Melbourne). I was told that it was a collectors item, but not to sure it is. Dose anyone know of these, any info appreciated. Sorry my digi camera is not working to post a pic. Thanks, Steve Title: Re: Cast belt buckle FC Post by: robbzfc58 on September 01, 2003, 09:44:44 PM g'day digger.i have one of these also.i'd call them a collectors piece but they aren't rare.they were readily available a few yrs ago.they often come up on ebay in a variety of models.

The FC ones were available in red/white and 2T green IIRC. I first came across them in about '94, but they may have been around longer than that. They're quite well-made, and have real depth to them, especially the vehicle's interior. cheers RET Title: Re: Cast belt buckle FC Post by: Digger on September 03, 2003, 11:38:07 AM Trev, Ret,
