<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 108494, member: 55&quot;]I&nbsp; remember that pourable plastic, epoxy resin or acrylic.</p><p>Found an article on resin casting <a href="http://craftbits.com/project/basic-resin-casting/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://craftbits.com/project/basic-resin-casting/" rel="nofollow">http://craftbits.com/project/basic-resin-casting/</a> and some images of the kind of projects I recall <a href="https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;FORM=IQFRML" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;FORM=IQFRML" rel="nofollow">https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;qpvt=pourable+resin+for+crafts&amp;FORM=IQFRML</a></p><p>but I think the material in the buckle is a pretty ordinary type of plastic.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The bighorn sheep have a pretty wide range, with subspecies all the way from Alaska to Arizona, and into Mexico, so the buckle could have been made by a craftsperson almost anywhere.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did find images of Navajo buckles with bighorn sheep, but yours is a bit rougher than most, and not a typical SW style.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; An image search for bighorn sheep buckle might come up with something, but I didn&#039;t find anything exactly like this one.</p><p>The closest is from an ebay listing <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ND15169-VINTAGE-1970s-COLORADO-BIG-HORN-SHEEP-BELT-BUCKLE-/321465466730" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ND15169-VINTAGE-1970s-COLORADO-BIG-HORN-SHEEP-BELT-BUCKLE-/321465466730" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ND15169-VINTAGE-1970s-COLORADO-BIG-HORN-SHEEP-BELT-BUCKLE-/321465466730</a></p><p>and does have a very similar plastic inlay, and a back very similar to Kardinal&#039;s.&nbsp; Maker&#039;s logo looks like perhaps R&amp;B, handcrafted in Denver Colorado.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]27314[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]27315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
