I don't just want to use any old buckle, though! Ideally, I'd like to find a good, historical-looking, Gondorian-feeling buckle, since it is going to be front and center. Parameters are wide open. One of the problems I've been facing here, though, is the SIZE of the buckles. Many of them are meant to be small fastenings, so when I do find one in the right style it tends to be very small. The belts I'm using are 1.5 inches wide, and I'd like to avoid cutting them down if I can.
These are the types of buckles I've found that I think might be suitable. The first one is the closest in size, and I quite like the look of it.

If anyone has any recommendations for where I might find buckles, or opinions on styles that strike you as Gondorian, or literally anything to say on the matter, I'm very receptive.

(Side note: I also have a great fondness for Tauriel's belt, strangely.)
