custom made brand belt buckles

[Gomez]

Anyone have experience with silversmith makers of belt buckles? I thinking of xmas gifts. I'm thinking a simple brand buckle and hope to stay under 200.
Thank you

Jim Hyde from Alida made a nice one for our son for his 21st birthday .
Marlin Shain and his wife have both taken a course from him they are down that way as well. I haven't seen her silver work but she builds a pretty nice saddle.

 

[per]

Olson's Silver and Leather Co in High River.

Bud Hanna at Arthur, Nebraska used to make a nice buckle.

We had ours made at the prison..by inmates. Some of them do some awesome work. I don't know how ya'lls prison systems work...or if you can have things made there. But it might be worth looking into.

I'll second the recomendation for Jim Hyde from Alida. Show him what you want and he'll make it pretty.
