I have the same buckle that I purchased new in 1975 for $100. It was supposedly issued for the U.S. Bicentennial and limited to 100 pieces (silver). I have seen many pewter ones on ebay, but no silver. I am wondering the same thing.

Hello,

I suspect that your question is a bit too esoteric for the members of our forum. For the most part, we are quite adept at discussing old Winchester firearms, but are rather limited in knowledge (myself included) about other (non firearm related) Winchester products.  I hope that you eventually find someone that can answer your question for you.

I got one with the same stuff on the back but it doesn’t have the stage coach, instead it has the horse and rider with a banner below for a presentation but it wasn’t engraved. I got it as a gift and don’t know any more about it except it holds my pants up.Laugh

How much does it weigh? You might can figure you up some “melt” silver value?
