they look just like every other buckle I've seen, but the pins are pressed in and I don't know if it was a bad batch or what the deal was. It really surprised me that Cook saddlery used them but I'm sure they looked good to them too.

I have a new Billy Cook Saddle pictured in the first photo. A colt blew up with me and as I gathering him, the Blevens Buckle broke ! I included pictures of both sides. the right side both "pins" broke out and on the left I found that I could pull the pins out with little or no effort. Has anyone else had this problem ? I haven't removed the broken one yet so I'm not sure if it is stamped with the Blevens buckle name. Do they make a cheap buckle in the same style as Blevens ? Check yours because as we all know it hurts when you hit the ground due to a break in your saddle.

Thanks for your comment, I was told that it was a back band for an oxen but I do not think they use back bands when they work oxen. You are right though, I have seen weird stuff from other countries. That is true it could be a dog harness part. Thanks for your comment and sorry I replied in the wrong spot lol

I have a piece of harness I guess . I don't know what it is, can anyone help me find out what this piece is ? It is made with leather on it. I took pics of it from different angles if anyone needs a different view please let me know. Thanks
