Detailed Maltese Cross Belt Buckle
Very cool buckle featuring an iron cross design. Let your personality show through with this highly stylized belt buckle. The Maltese cross is named after the island of Malta, which came to be the home of the Knights of St. John. The Knights of St. John existed during the 11th and 12 centuries. The armor worn by the Knights covered their entire bodies as well as their faces. Because of this it was often difficult for the knights to recognize one another during battle. They realized they would need some type of symbol that could be used to quickly and easily identify them selves. They chose the Cross of Calvary, which would later be known as the Maltese cross. During the Crusades, the enemies of the nights commonly used fire as a weapon.

Nice, big buckle that is hard to miss. It does have a shine and not so much the brushed look like the picture.
