2" Solid Brass Western Harness Buckle casting based upon Amish original Description Dark Victory Armory presents: The Historical Engraved Stainless Steel Western Belt Buckle, Keeper, Tipwith Domestic Shipping Following the US Civil War, the style of larger metal military buckles had an influence on fashion. However, very few "cowboy buckles" existed before 1900 since most cowboys used suspenders or had buckles made from military friction buckles. But by the early 1900’s, cowboys were sporting western style buckles. In addition to the Western and Indian buckles, rodeo buckles soon ushered in a new look in belt buckles as silent and later talking western movies danced across the screen, the Western buckle took hold.This modern heavy duty, solid engraved stainless-steel construction with decorative black contrast, hearkens back to the early 20th Century as a wonderful echo of that working past. This buckle features a very strong pivoting pivoting tongue. Accompanied by the other belt furniture this creates a classic early to mid 1900's appearance with contours and geometry that hearkens back to the age of horse and steam. Surely this hardware would be a great centerpiece to a Western belt.
