1518 question
It has been a while since I had last posted here.
I have been offered a 1518 which is in a very good condition however it comes with aftermarket leather strap and buckle. So can anyone help me as to what would an original buckle size would be. I am also looking for pictures of its original buckle and leather strap.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Zane
