All, there are many Ruger belt buckles out there. This was brought up in another thread and got me to thinking.

Please help to assemble a photographic database of them by posting your own photos here. To help catalog them I would like to ask that photos be posted individually rather than one photo of an entire collection. This will allow for any descriptions like size or markings to be noted as well as helping keep the number of duplicate buckle postings down. If you see a buckle already posted please try not to post it again! If a group photo is easier or the only way that you can post your collection then I'd rather see them as a group than not at all.

I won't flood the forum with photos like I usually do but will add the first 5 to the database. I believe that between these 5 that they came from two of you. These are probably my favorites of the ones in my collection.

#1 The only markings on the round red eagle with the white background are the numbers 2321 stamped on the back bottom.

#2 The oval black eagle with yellow and red backgrounds is marked on the back with:
- a logo of a globe followed by NAP
- a copyright symbol and the year 1986
- SOLID BRASS
- F 09

#3 Next is the Ruger Titanium Buckle. It's pretty.
The back is marked:
- RUGER TITANIUM
- PRESCOTT, AZ

#4 The one in the red watch case is an RCA buckle with no markings on the back.

#5 Lastly, the silver oval with red RUGER lettering. It also has no markings on the back.

Let's see what you all have to add to this. Any and all info about an item posted here is always welcome!

Chuck, I'll join to the cause, here are some I have in my possession.
