Some of my belt buckles, the ones related to turkey hunting anyway. I have to get the Miriam's, Gould's and Osceola buckles to finish off the North American species, I am not sure if there is a buckle for the Ocellated turkey or not. I have to get Summer and Winter to finish off the other series of buckles. I will not wear the Rio buckle unless I get one when I go to OK next Spring. I am not going to be able to add any more for a couple of months, have some things I have to get taken care of before I put a vehicle on the road in time for turkey season in May.

I also got in these two strikers from Jeff (JLH) today One is Spalted Maple Hickory and the second is his Frogwood. I have to thank him for taking the time to make these a little wider for me than he normally does, with my hands skinnier strikers can often make my hand hurt quite a bit because of the car accident I had in 88. Both strikers play very well but I have to say that the Frogwood really has a lot of bite to it when it is playing on the surface and makes it very easy to get sound from it without much if any work at all.

Oh I got a new shirt in too, my GF is not very good with either of my cameras, this is what the front looks like though.

Those are neat. I never knew they even existed.

Thanks, I have been trying to get them when I can, there is a matched set with matching numbers of the seasons ones on ebay right now but I just can't justify $180.00 + for belt buckles. Here is the link if anybody is interested. https://www.ebay.com/itm/National-Wild-Turkey-Federation-Limited-Edition-Four-Season-Collectors-Buckles/402061822656
Cool collection.
That is really cool.
I love the belt buckles and just might have to look into getting me one.

Thanks. I just got the Eastern, Fall and 20th anniversary ones in the mail yesterday. I went and looked and could not find another Eastern for you online. There is a Summer online but it is much more than I want to spend. It is also in better shape than mine are from a collectors standpoint and comes with the original clothe pouch they came in. There is also a full set of seasons they are asking a $180 opening bid on and all the numbers match on that set which makes them very collectable as matching/sequential numbers are very desirable in the collecting world.
Ok thanks for the info and help

You're quite welcome.
I added these two to the collection this week. I only need Summer now to finish off that set. Found out yesterday that they did indeed to one for the Ocellated turkey, that means I need that one, Gould's and Osceola to finish that set.

Thank you, hope I can find Summer before the end of it.
You will.....be safe..
The Ocellated is not a turkey. Just a gimmick bird to get your money.

Thanks, has been at least a year and a half, I think 2 years total, but my sense of time is not the greatest with my meds. Hoping I can get the others soon.
I was able to add the Ocellated turkey buckle and the the Gould's buckle this weekend, if anybody happens to have the Osceola turkey buckle that they would be willing to part with please contact me as it is the last one I need. Thanks

That would make a sweet shadow box display

Yes it would, had not thought of that. I might try to find another sequential set of the seasons ones and display those and wear the ones I have now.
Nice set, I imagine there are all sorts of items to collect. Keeps one busy but worthwhile when you complete the set. Nice collection.

Thank you much, Jeff makes a fine striker, if you do not have any of his do yourself a favor and at least try his frogwood.
