Ebay is a good idea.

The nickel+black clasp is hard to describe here, but yes, essentially the outer shell part is nickel and the pointy bit that inserts into the shell is black. I'll suggest that Susan put up some photos of the alternate clasps and hardware as soon as she can.

She's received her first order (Julf) and will continue working on it after she gets back from the trip on Wednesday or Thursday. I believe that after working it out with him in email, she may be doing brass hardware and a different style of clasp for him, if I recall correctly. So by the time she updates the page, she might have more hardware options that go with the tan/brown leather styles even better.

I've been using the prototype shown in the pictures for a couple of weeks now and it works great and I'm very happy with it.
