Reviews and comments
G Gennady Nikolaevich Borts:

Dear Victoria! The article is informative, the material is original, thank you! It’s a pity, I didn’t find the latch buckle design that was on my father’s trousers from the 1950s to the 1990s (in Kuban). They called it “butterfly buckle”. Symmetrical two parts, metal (coated with cloisonné enamel), one half is threaded from above into the slot of the other and snaps into place with a slight turn. I want to find one like this! If you know about these or similar ones, please tell me the name of the design (or even where to buy :)
