Description
Hopicrafts Tony Kyasyousie Hopi Overlay Sterling belt buckle 3 9/16" x 2.25" x 92.5 grams, fits up to a 1.75" belt. Tested sterling. Old buckle probably about
50 years old, worn and loved with a nice natural patina. Could be polished of
course, has a lot of character like this. An extensive machine polishing would
remove all the scratches but can't be undone so I'm selling it like this.
