CHISHOLM’S TRAIL IS NOW ONE OF THE LAST BUCKLE MAKER’S IN AMERICA
This month we celebrate our 67th buckle. Who knew that when we decided to make our first one because we could not find a cowboy buckle that said “Made in USA” that we would now offer almost 70 buckles. That is a lot to keep in stock. If they say “in stock” they are. If they do not say that then we are in the process of making a new mold because they do not last forever. We are going to try to put one style of buckle on sale each month to encourage folks to see the really good quality that our foundry produces. Our buckle this month will be the
“TEXAS RANGER”
TEXAS RANGER
This buckle will be discounted to $39.95. If a belt is purchased the buckle price will drop to $29.95. Each buckle is “thick” hand cast in the USA from virgin brass not melted down artillery shells like so many are. The original was hand engraved by a gunsmith and deeply relieved. It has an ergonomic tongue, curved to sit better on the belt. Currently they are available in yellow brass or are commercially nickel plated.
Below are five of our new buckles:
