Well I heard back from Steel-Mastery and for 26 etched plaques plus shipping is $168.00 but that is without the leather belt or buckle. If I go with their plaques I would add them to a spare belt I have and solder a hook onto one plaque to secure the belt. Their price is comparable to a gold plated version of RQP belt however either offering is still a bit more than I want to invest at this time with the balance of my Albion Meyer coming due soon. I think I’ll postpone this addition until next faire season.
Thanks to you all who helped me do some excellent comparison shopping!
