don't know if this is right place for this, but I am hoping someone may know the maker of this belt buckle... or anything else about it.. I know for fact it is plated an not sterling

Yes this is the right place. It may be Navajo silver, torquoise and coral.

Sorry I missed that. What is it? pot metal or stainless steel??

I dont really know anything about Indian silver or silver plated items. It just had the SW Indian look to it with the Ram, torquoise and the bear mark.

It looks close but I would just be guessing if I gave an opinion. Maybe you could email him.

Guesses are good.. I am pretty sure this was hand made cause there are imperfections in the hammering on back..don't know what base metal was used but i'm pretty sure it is silver silverplated
