    That information was so interesting Keith. My step father worked with John Wayne on the film Brannigan and has photos taken with him. His name was Jack Newman and he was part of the large team of dedicated electricians, carpenters, painters etc. behind the scenes but so important. At the end of the filming, John Wayne gave everyone who worked on the film, a belt with a big brass buckle with a picture of Tower bridge on it, open, and it says "an all talking movie BRANNIGAN filmed entirely on location in London town. JOHN WAYNE." On the back it says "custom made buckle for Wayne, Levy & Gardner. the number 182 and John Wayne's signature stamped into the brass. Jack Newman has now passed away, but I have inherited the buckle but alas not the belt and my husband can't work out how to fix it to a belt. I thought that people would like to know that these buckles exist.
