Bending tool, bad video didn't set up part correctly but you get the idea, can be made to fit requirements

I haven't made 26mm pre-v buckles. I have made polished GPF buckles for myself though. Just that hand polishing a buckle is a really time consuming and a dirty job.

So it's taken some time, but here are some buckles of my labor finally completed. Finished with hand tools only, except for the engravings of course .

Four of the buckles are made based on measurements taken from a gen vintage compass buckle and so they are 27mm, one is a different design and is 24mm. Some are more rounded and some are less. All inside edges are finished and the corners are square. One of the buckles has gen like 45 degree bevel on the inside edges, whereas the others are more rounded, the pins are finished on all surfaces as well.

Opinions, please?
