The workmanship and materials on this one are literally as good as it possibly gets for this type of buckle.The absolute best.
If I don’t find anything very amazing on my tour the next 14 days in AZ & NM, I’ll find Wilbert “Wil” Vandever and try to buy from him online. Since I’m in the US, shipping is easy.
I love the dark green turquoise and magnificent silver work on that buckle. I also recognize the bezel since I have a ring by William Vandever which makes me more partial towards that one,
Father or son of “Wil”?
Yes, I prefer this one. Where did you find it?
Isn’t that buckle from a suite that @AC shared? I thought he purchased it from Crown Jewels and Coin in Albuquerque.
@StevesTrail, I just found it.
This would definitely be my pick. It seems to be the consensus of others too; but then you are the one wearing it so you will know when you find the “one”. Good luck
Yes, that’s the one I prefer.
Yes, @AC’s piece is my reference. Love it.
Thanks for the many replies.
