Montana Silversmith 6119BLB Don't Tread On Me Gadsden Buckle

Made here in Columbus, MT, USA this vintage bronze finished oval buckle has a top waving banner ribbon with the words "Don't Tread On Me" in an old English script. The ragged edges of the ribbon fold back under towards the ends with the tips of the ribbon trailing down to three smooth wire banded edges. A large coiled Diamond-back rattlesnake sits in the center of a dimpled background on a little thatch of grass with it's tongue out and fangs exposed. Two five point stars sit on either side of the snake with "EST. 1775" below. Standard 1.5 inch belt swivel.
