Talk:Buckle

message: "The belt and buckle combination has been used ever since civilizations wore clothing, just around the beginning of the Bronze Age."
That may be a good estimate of when the buckle was devised (though buckles or comparable devices could have been fashioned from wood or bone much earlier).  However, given the harsh climates many of our distant ancestors colonized, it seems likely that many of us were wearing clothes long before the Bronze Age.

message: ===Removal of apparent advertising===
I cut the following paragraph from the "Contemporary Uses" section of the article because it looked like advertising rather than useful content:
:Many web sites started selling belt buckles which gain popularity by the day. One of the most popular belt buckle sites, http://www.hotBuckles.com, is specializing in Scarface belt buckles, in addition to other very popular belt buckles. Many others offer a large variety of Western, Eagle, name and spinner belt buckles, among other clothing accessories. The above web site, , is a good example of a belt buckle site that is dedicated the buckles only. 
Feel free to reinstate the paragraph if it is considered useful. --stephenw32768<talk> 14:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Needs a disambiguation page 

message: Can someone add images for the various components - also, re. chape, it's very hard to understand what is being talked about unless you already know what a chape is. My dictionary appears to conflate both chape and prong. Illustrations or photos would really help. (20040302 (talk) 10:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds eminently sensible. I still have no idea what the differences of these things are, even though I've most likely worn them all at some time! If you have artistic inclination, how about some nice illustrations labelling the components? (20040302 (talk) 12:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chape 

message: I've added a rather rough sketch of what I now understand to be the various parts of a buckle. I am NOT an expert, and derived all my understanding from this article!  Can an expert verify it, and let me know if I have made any mistakes?!  (20040302 (talk) 08:34, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  New image 

message: From what I can gather, the prong is also known as a mordant, or a tang, or a tongue - is that correct? 
Does the name change if the prong is inward facing rather than outward facing?  e.g. an inward facing buckle on the civil war buckle vs. an outward facing prong on a normal buckle ?
IS there any published source on this sort of thing? (20040302 (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
