Just saw this ranger set come up on Ebay. Retail value in 1996 was $750, and today around $2,400. The seller is offering it for $395. A perfect example of an online seller asking below materials cost for a beautiful handmade buckle in 14K and Sterling! M.M. Michael Roger’s Sterling Silver 14k Buckle 3pc Ranger Belt 40.5" | eBay

It did, Steve. Normally these have two keepers. Still a tremendous bargain at the offering price. The tarnish on this piece is really a shame. It looks like it‘s been in someone’s drawer for 20+ years. This will polish right up and look like a million bucks.
“G” is a partial hallmark of “EG”, Earlman Ganadonegro from the Alamo Navajo reservation in Socorro County, NM. Earlman, a really fine silversmith who worked with me for many years, often separates the “E” and “G” of his hallmark with the other quality and shop marks in between.
