First of all congrats if any of you were the one to outbid me on the Original DWA patch on Ebay this morning ($27)...Laugh

But on to the good stuff.... I received this belt buckle in the mail today.  To my surprise it is a model I have never seen before, so I present it to you for review/comments.

The detail is pretty impressive; you can see the sideplate lines, the rear sight adj screw, the front sight color lines, checkering on the grip, etc.  Anybody seen one of these before?

I didn't take a pic of the back of the buckle but it does not have the .357 or limited edition as your does.

Yep, those are the standard issue ones (yours is actually an original patch, not a repro).  I have those and the DWA buckle--this one I've never seen before.  Maybe a promo item.

Man... and here I thought I was about to be special Cry... All kidding aside, I found it along with a S&W buckle and S&W patch--$25 for all of it !  It is in pretty good shape, probably take less than a minute to make it perfect.  I guess I was out of the loop on belt buckles; I thought there were only two versions of DW buckles.

I have the same buckle as Shoot but with a different show.  Mine is from the 1981 SHOT show in New Orleans.

I also think these are brass where some of the others are pewter.  

I think I spend near $40 for mine on eBay so you did very well!
