Is it fraying or is it just that the buckle doesn't want to hang on?
Some glue to seal the edge after a bit of trimming might do the trick.

Or trim it up, then burn the end with a lighter. That's what we do with climbing webbing.

My belt is old and I've never had any trouble with it fraying.

yup its fraying but at this point it is fayed about half way down the belt so I am getting new ones. I just needed some info so I could possibly keep it from doing that in the future.
Thanks

Erri, I can't find real brass in the UK either. An army surplus store here suggested looking for some French buckles.

That's what the guy said. Could be totally wrong though.
