My friend, avid photogrpaher, long time smugmuger and recent dgrinner Karyn made me a surprise gift:

Original Canon F-1 Belt Buckle.

Here's how it looks:

Front:



Back:



The whole thing is about 4mm thick, weighs 3/4 lb and definitely can be used as a weapon...:-):rofl

Says "made in 80s". So it's 20..25 years old..
Mine's exactly like that:-)

But don't forget, I'm from ex-USSR, I can open a beer in ways most of the people from other countries would never dream of:-)
