New addition!!!

kuger · Nov 11, 2010

Here is my latest one to mark off my list!There are several variations of this buckle and all are rare as they have a thin bridge,and are easily broken.This one is complete and is a variation that is the rarest of all of em!It was awesome to get the wreath as well even though it was some distance away

Sure don't get tired of seeing a picture of that flatty star tongue & matching wreath! I can't wait to see it up close & personal! :headbang:

Did you get a chance to get back to the site and find the belt keeper? That is indeed a rare buckle my friend, especially that variation with the star centered and the middle point at 12:0'clock! :hello2:

Can't wait to get together with you for some serious hunting later this year or early next year! I may have to postpone my knee surgery one month. I'll know tomorrow.

You were due, buddy. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everybody,these buckles are our passion,and when a rare one comes along I like to share it.A lot of work goes into the research and acquisition of permission,but thats what it is all about!
I.M.,Thank you bud,hope you get that surgery done and get back after it,we have to go back to a couple past sites and scour em....I think you know of one I am referring to!I did find three different keepers that trip including the rare oval.....not sure which one goes to this guy(I need to look back at some dagureotypes of guys wearing this buckle and see if I can tell?I hope to get a chance to give ya a ring tonight bud.

Awesome, Kuger! You've got my Banner vote for a super find. I don't post often, but have been impressed with your finds over the years I've been a member of this forum.

What part of CA are you from? I live in a small town called Mt Shasta...right on I-5 and about 50 miles south of the Oregon border.

Would have had to call the day at this find as everything else would be lackluster.

Congrats!

kuger,

I don't get to spend as much time on Tnet as I used to, but I had to see this one! That is one Top Notch buckle find! I know you're making an exception by posting, but you do have my e-mail, and I am in need of some Good Inspiration. Thank you for posting this--that is one RARE buckle! And a fantastic find. To find the matching wreath is practically unheard-of. I am nominating this one for the finds Banner. Hands down. Keep up the good work, my friend. :thumbsup:

Best Wishes,

Buckles

Surgery still on for Monday, which is great news. That's means I'll be back in the field sooner!
I'm heading out for one last hurrah to you know where tomorrow!! My vote is in also for this rare beauty!
