Engraved Silver (Sterling?) Belt Buckle
I recently had the opportunity to acquire this piece. It came with a very nice tooled belt that happened to fit!
The Buckle is silver and weighs over 100g (the max my scale reads) It measures ~ 2 3/8" x 2". It appears to be hand engraved and seems to be very well done. I think the gun is intending to represent a #3 American.
The detail on the gun is amazing, some of which can not be seen without magnification. There are actually "slots" in the two screw heads you can see. Checkering on the top of the hammer. The barrel latch/rear sight, the cylinder stop notches and the barrel hinge show that the engraver had an attention to detail.
I left the picture large, so if you click on it, you should be able to see some of the magnified details.
Does anyone recognize the engraver?

I know nothing if the engraver, but the buckle is fantastic. And the belt fit, what a neat happenstance! Ivan

The marking on the back is for the "blank" the engraver purchased prior to engraving.
