Sand cast? 5 ounce silver belt buckle

No marks visible. It has been tested and x-rayed to confirm that it is solid 925 silver. Does anyone know anything that might identify this Maker? I bought it several years ago with no provenance.

Unlikely sand cast. The texture of the metal looks like lost wax, and the remnants of sprue attachment points behind where the hinge is mounted reinforce this impression. It’s a great buckle!
