Military-Style Quick Release Buckle?

[Akimbo]

Does anyone know where I can buy stainless steel quick release buckles like this in the US?

I don't know if this is quick release, but it looks similar...Stainless Steel buckles for the Golem Gear G2 harness.

You might try coping the name and number on the buckle. and doing a GOOGLE search and see what comes up . I tried coping the photo and enlarging it but could not get a clear image to see (my work computer is a little lame ( i don't have a good photo shop)

The buckles in the link are almost identical to those fitted to a high access safety harness I use. While not being true quick release the do come apart without too much hassle. No good for a weight belt but they'd work well for a shoulder strap.

Thanks, I saw those. They don't allow easy belt length adjustment from both sides and aren't quick leases under tension. At $39.00 they also cost about 6x more than the Imersion Inox Buckle, before shipping. Three buckles are less than a third as expensive as one Golem buckle, even with 2-Day DHL shipping from Spain.

Thanks, but Google is the first thing I tried and how I found them in the first place. Cadmium plated steel buckles are easy but I haven't had any luck with Stainless in the US.

The thing that makes it difficult is there doesn't seem to be a common name for the design. I first saw them in military surplus stores when I was a kid. There was still loads of WWII and Korean war surplus then. US Divers (now Aqualung) sold them in stainless in 1958.

Nice site, thanks. I sent them an E-mail. This is also a good site for unusual webbing hardware:

If your doing a vintage thing, cool. If you just looking for functionality ... try one these (upper, available from Trident):

It is a nice buckle. I use the Olsson/Seaquest/Trident buckle for several applications, but need this one for a special safety harness. Plastic is too hard a sell certification and confidence-wise and a lower profile is desirable.

FYI, I understand that this buckle from Imersion works on rubber belts and a freediver in Florida raves about them. Unfortunately the Trident buckle is webbing only.

For rubber belts I like the traditional wire bail buckle. Since you know the right name for it I assume you know Mark Olsson?
