THE STORY GOES THIS WAS ONCE ATTACHED TO A FANCY HORSE SADDLE. THE MAKER bcb I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ON SOUTHWESTERN BELT BUCKLES. BUT THIS PIECE IS QUITE UNIQUE! I CAN NOT EASILY FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE! THE BLOCK LETTERS ARE IN brass.
THE PLATE BODY IS IN SOLID PRECIOUS STERLING SILVER. THE 2 SCREWS FOUND UPON THE PLAIN BACK SIDE ARE steel. 6"inches X 1"¼.
