Here we will disuss the different styles and themes of our Western Belt Buckles. There are dozens of different ones to chose from but they all contain certain characteristics that put them in the western category.
The main western style buckle people think of is the oversize flashy oval style. Here is an example of that type, Chrome and Gold Oval with Eagle Belt Buckle. These buckles are large is size and oval shaped. They generally have a detailed engraved design in chrome, gold or other flashy colors. These are still given out as trophies from different rodeo organizations or to commemorate a certain western themed event.
Another major theme in western belt buckles is desert and farm animals. The bull skull is a major decoration in many of our buckles as seen here, Western Arrowhead with Bull Belt Buckle. The long history of cattle in western lifestyle is the main reason they are featured so prominently in western culture.
The five point star is another decorative piece that you will in several different buckles. Many are a throwback to the classic Sheriff badge, Sheriff Star Belt Buckle. A staple of many western films from over the years, Sheriff star is instantly recognizable as a western icon.
When is comes to firearms no other image is more iconic to the old west than the Colt Revolver. On the hip of every cowboy, the revolver was the one item that everyone in the old west had to have. We have revolvers featured in different ways, like lighters, Revolver Lighter Belt Buckle in Holster.
