Value of S&W belt buckles?

[AJMBLAZER]

My FIL recently passed and while we were sorting out his things we found a bunch of S&W belt buckles in their boxes. Don’t think he used any of them.

Any value to these? Not really our thing but if someone else can appreciate them we’re not against selling them.

The most I see go for $25 to $35 if LNIB, and proportionately less if signs of wear.

Gotcha.

Where are you seeing them sold?


I saw a bunch on Ebay but no clue if the prices were realistic.

H Richard's post is correct. I recently sold several doz, all NIB, at the 2021 S&WCA Symposium for similar prices. However, if you don't have access to Ebay or a gun show, I would suggest posting them for sale on this Forum. either individually or as a "bunch." Don't forget to add shipping to the cost. Ed.

Dumb question but how critical is the box condition?

As in should they be packaged like the pistol boxes or is a padded envelope fine?

I agree with Ed's post. Put them up for sale here, they will probably go like hotcakes. Personally I don't like padded envelopes as things can get roughed up sometimes.

People won't like crushed boxes if they collect them. Mail them 1st Class in a small box.

best to ship in a nice box with lots of protection for anything u sell
my Dad also has quite a few belt buckles
i think they were popular years ago and i have seen many locally for sale
God Bless,John
