They're NOT easy to find. High-grade silver belts go for $1,000+. And gold ones shoot through the bloody roof. That's if you can even find them to...
Hey Komo! I won the trousse at auction. The auctioneer said it was tortoise-shell.
Whoopee!! After much, much, muchly patience, of the waiting kind, I finally got me a trousse! :P Sadly, the trousse came without its original...
