Belt Fittings and Buckles

Anyone know where I can find belt fittings? I'm ideally looking for Norman or Crusader. Viking leather has a couple of plain buckles and Raymond's Quiet Press has a few but none jump out at me...I'm hoping someone might know of a couple more places to peruse them.

www.armourandcastings.com has good stuff. I'm not sure if they have much in the way of Norman / Crusader era, but they do good work and have excellent prices.
www.danegeld.co.uk has a 12th c. belt buckle and strap end. The prices are higher (there's a bronze option you can select that's cheaper than the silver price you'll see first), but all the reviews I have read have been good.

http://www.re-enactment.com/ - Mercia Sveiter has a good selection.

No disrespect to Billy & Charlie but they are way out of the requested time period.
"I'm ideally looking for Norman or Crusader."
Nice stuff though.
A&C has great stuff but it also kind of skirts around the crusades, at least the 1st three. If you are looking for Eastern Slavic/Rus or 14th Century + they are hard to beat.
I'd say your best bet would be Mercia or Danegeld as they specialize in those eras.
Just my 2p
