Museum Replicas Ltd. Merchandise

[Viktara Fen]

Some years ago, Museum Replicas, Ltd. offered quite a bit of WoT licensed merchandise, ranging from weapons to jewelry. One thing they offered, or at least depicted in the catalog, was Rand's dragon belt buckle, which was supposedly available in brass and antiqued brass, as we see attested here (scroll about 75% of the way down, then click the catalog page scan on the right above the Asha'man pins). Does anyone know whether that buckle was actually put into production? I assume it was, but I have only ever seen it in the old catalogs, and the Internet seems to be rather short on images of it "in the wild."

Museum Replicas produced those belt buckles for a short period of time, but I believe that they have been out of production for years now.
I recall seeing them at a close out sale at MR.
My hubby used to work for MR. I could ask him to check with his friends there to see if they still have them if you would like.

Hi, Niere Sedai,

Thank you for this reply! I had checked with MR, and unfortunately they don't carry them anymore, from what they told me. However, I did find a listing on their closeout eBay account that seems very much to be the bright brass version. It was listed as a prototype and is now making a very nice display piece on my bookshelf.

Do you know if they made Great Serpent rings?

My understanding is that they did for a time, and that Badali later made very similar ones, but I never owned one. I think a number of the folks here do, though.
