FYI, Ron & other S&W Buckle collectors: Bradford exchange is coming out with a whole new series of S&W belt buckles this month. They say they plan to issue two each several months. They are nice looking milticolored buckles but at $40 ea, +S&H, I don't expect them to fly off the shelves! Check 'em out at Bradford's web page or on eBay.
A complete collection of S&W factory authorized buckles, either factory made or by a licensee such as Bergamot Foundry, is a challenge to accumulate. If you add the non-factory rip-offs, you can well exceed a 100 buckles. The upside is that most of the buckles can be found, on eBay, or Craig's List, etc.,NIB, for $25 or less. Exceptions are the custom buckles , such as the ones made by the Yellow Horse family of the Navajos, etc. that are seldom seen on the resale market. Ed.
