Vintage Two-Tone Western Bald Eagle Belt Buckle

This is a rectangular Western-style belt buckle featuring a scalloped, clipped-corner silhouette. The primary construction appears to be a mixed metal base, likely nickel silver or silver-plated brass, showcasing a warm yellowish/golden iridescent patina on the central plate, which suggests oxidation of the surface finish. At the center is a high-relief, Three-dimensional appliqué of a bald eagle in flight. This eagle motif is highly detailed, with individual feather textures visible and a white-toned finish on the head and tail feathers to simulate natural plumage. The buckle is framed by an ornate border consisting of raised, polished scrollwork accents in a gold-toned metal contrasting against a darkened, textured black filigree background. The overall craftsmanship is indicative of Mid-to-Late 20th Century Western wear manufacturing. Condition-wise, the piece shows visible signs of surface wear, including minor scratches on the face and significant tarnish/patina, particularly around the edges and on the flat surface. The varying hues of the metal suggest a combination of plating types that have aged differently over time. This item likely dates from the 1970s to the 1990s and represents a classic example of Americana commemorative silver-tone accessories.
