This was originally presented to us as original, but with the help of an advanced collector, we now believe it is actually a fantasy piece. The same Esmeralda County badge on this buckle was illustrated in the Time Life book The Gunfighter. The design is also not emblematic of pre-1900 buckles.

This piece is made to look like a custom belt buckle made 1893 for W.A. Ingalls, First Sheriff of Esmeralda County, NV. Front has Bowie knife and small copy of the special handmade badge for Sheriff Ingalls. Back is engraved "To W.A. Ingalls from your friend Tom Sweeney". 3 x 2 inches, excellent condition.

**Again, we do not believe this piece is genuine, but it's still an attractive buckle.**
