There is additional leather beyond the existing holes, leaving room for additional holes if the new owner chooses to add them.Please compare the buckle-to-hole measurements with a belt you already own rather than relying solely on modern pant sizing.Condition:
Beautiful antique/vintage condition with authentic age-related patina. Expect surface wear, darkening, edge wear, scuffing and wear around the billet/stitching consistent with a belt of this age. The tooling remains wonderfully detailed and visually striking. Hardware shows aged oxidation/tarnish and surface wear. Please review all photographs closely as they are part of the description.Metal content has not been tested, so the hardware is being described conservatively as silver-tone metal rather than sterling silver.A killer collectible piece for anyone into early Western wear, cowboy Americana, ranch wear, Southwestern fashion, Rockabilly, vintage rodeo, Western history or authentic old leather goods.Keywords:
