Cast belt buckle FC

[Digger]

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

They're not really rare, although you should definitely have one in your collection.  Whether that makes them collectable or not...?

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

Trev, Ret,
Thanks heeps,

The one that I have is Red/White and is now mounted in my show case with my minimal collection of FE/FC memorbilia and yep it looks pretty cool.  

Thanks again,
Steve.
