Here is one more I use on my hip quiver. Sorry for lack of quality but it gives you the idea. Ornate scrolling to the right and left of the Bear symbol.   (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/Articles203-1.jpg)

Roy, I have a couple of those Youth/Lady Buckles. They are pretty cool! Yours is CLEAN!!

Here is a buckle I picked up recently. I was told by the seller it was a prototype/example of a buckle for the "Bear Archery Bowhunting Council". The buckle was never put into production and is a one-of-a-kind.

Oh Yeah Nick! I like that one a lot........ The fact it's a proto makes it all the better!!
Here is a close up of mine. Not sure when it was made but picked it up from an older gentleman who owned an archery store in the late 60's.  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/CACPendletonDec2012044_zpscdcec9bc.jpg)
