The Avar strap end fitting measures 4.8 x 1.4 cm.
The strap end is suitable for belts with a width of 1.5 cm.
The Avar strap end is made of high-quality bronze or real silver-plated.
Fastening:
As documented by historical examples, the strap end replica has two pins 8 mm long on the back.
These are best bent slightly at the tip with round-nosed pliers and then simply tapped flat with a hammer.
