I am a fan of Raymond's Quiet Press for buckles, strap ends, etc: http://www.quietpress.com/ You'll have to get your own leather belt strapping, but he really does have a nice selection. He primarily works in bronze, but items can be plated. For pewter findings, there's Fettered Cock: http://www.fetteredcockpewters.com/page_belts.htm . They no longer do custom belts, but I'm a long-term satisfied customer. There's also Billy and Charlie: http://www.billyandcharlie.com/belt.html . Robin, the lady of this particular establishment is the same lady who did the pewter casting demo at Kalamazoo a few years ago.
