Ok, I'm stumped.
Anyone know how to attach both ends of a sash or belt to a buckle with only one central pin with teeth, without hiding either side edge of the buckle?
Clearly, it can be done, as this is a very common style of antique buckle. But until I figure it out, I can't wear mine.
I suspect it's a simple answer and I'm going to be embarrassed, as usual. That's fine.
I may end up just pushing the teeth through the pointy end, as shown, and then pinning the belt closed beneath with a safety pin or whatever.
But it's bugging me. Anybody? The central bar swivels. The teeth are super sharp. Ouch.
