    Vintage belt buckle from the International Trap & Skeet Club. From what I can gather (may be wrong) this is what eventually became Triple B, and now LA Clays. From Wade's Silver Shop of Reno NV, and based on an ebay auction I found for another Wade's buckle that is nearly identical except for the lettering, it was engraved by Robert Fontana, although it isn't marked as such.

    1887 Morgan silver dollar, sterling silver buckle. Unpolished, undipped (so it's currently tarnished). Melt value of $175 (52.394 grams of silver) as of today's silver price, although that obviously doesn't account for any collector or numismatic value.

    $260 shipped.

    What is the largest width belt that will fit? What percentage of silver does the buckle (less silver dollar coin) contain?

    Measures 1.56" b/w the lugs, so 1.5" belt.

    Buckle is marked sterling, so 92.5%

    A bit tough to read, but marked "STERLING"

    Up to 187.57 melt presently.

    I think I'll let this run for the rest of today and if it hasn't sold it goes back in the safe since it's value has more than doubled in the last couple months.
