The NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship was the main tag title of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, run by Jim Crockett Sr. and later Jim Crockett Jr. This listing is a made-to-order replica by MS Belts of the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Wrestling Champion design in the photos, in black and gold. The page opens on the build closest to that design, and every choice shows its price.
The title was created in June 1968 as the NWA Atlantic Coast Tag Team Championship. Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson were the first champions, awarded the title on 2 June 1968 in Washington, DC.
The Andersons, Gene and Ole, had six reigns as a team, the most of any team, and Johnny Weaver had eight reigns as an individual, the most of any wrestler. After a territorial NWA World Tag Team title was created, this title became the secondary tag title. It was used until about 1985 and revived for the Mid-Atlantic territory in 2000.
We found no source describing the real belt's maker, metal or weight, and no commercial replica to measure against. This page therefore follows the design in the photos rather than a documented real build. Our closest build is Brass, 24K gold plated, 4 mm, which is what this page shows first.
We have no published dimensions for the real belt. Ours is a made-to-order replica on a 50–51 in strap, and thicker plates and the cast build bring it closer in weight. Other sizes can be quoted by email.
Brass plates with 24K gold plating at 4 mm, which is the build the page opens on. The cast zinc alloy build adds deeper relief to the engraving.
Yes. Custom name plates and engraving are quoted by email at support@msbelts.com.

Three choices about the plates decide how the belt looks, how it feels in the hand and what it costs.
The plates are the metal parts on the front of the belt. Brass plates are the standard: cut and engraved to the design, then finished by hand. Brass is dense and hard, so the belt feels solid. Cast zinc alloy plates are made in a mould and finished by hand, for deeper 3D relief.
Brass plates are included. Cast zinc alloy plates add $100.
Brass or cast zinc alloy plates24K real-gold electroplating is a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and the standard finish has no gold layer.
24K real-gold electroplating adds $20.
Gold electroplating explainedThickness is how thick the metal plates are, in millimetres. 2 mm is included, and you can go up to 5 mm. Thicker plates allow deeper relief in the design and weigh more.
2 mm is included. Each extra millimetre adds $50, up to 5 mm.
Plate thickness explainedMade to order
Every belt goes through 7 or 8 phases in our workshop, depending on the build. For a cast belt, casting in a mould takes the place of cutting. Gold electroplating happens only when you choose it or when it is included.
Under normal conditions, most belts are finished in 5–6 working days. For a custom design, the clock starts when you approve the design.
Phase 1: Design and artwork
Phase 2: Cutting the plates
Phase 3: Engraving and detailing
Phase 4: Polishing
Phase 5: Gold electroplating When 24K gold electroplating is chosen or included
Phase 6: Colour filling
Phase 7: The leather strap
Phase 8: Assembly, final check and packing

Brass is the standard plate metal. On custom belts the SD build has brass plates cut and engraved to the design, the CNC build has brass plates CNC-machined for finer detail, and the HD build has zinc alloy plates cast in a mould made for the design and finished by hand, for the deepest 3D relief. On catalogue belts, cast zinc alloy is +$100. Plates are 2 mm thick as standard, and 3, 4 or 5 mm add $50 for each extra millimetre. The strap is cowhide leather.
Yes, it is a thin layer of real 24K gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and like any plating it can wear if it is rubbed against something abrasive.
The strap is about 50 to 51 inches (127 to 130 cm) long with a snap closure and several snap positions. That is the length of the whole strap, not a waist size. Email us the wearer's measurement and we will confirm the fit before you order.
Yes. Name plate engraving can be added on belt pages that offer it. For a logo or a fully custom design, use the belt builder or email support@msbelts.com for a quote. Nothing is made until you approve the design.
