So popular was this design that there were reproductions made of it. Be assured, this is an original by Spratling.
On the reverse side of the circle is his logo of his initials inside of a circle, 925 Taxco Mexico and TS-24. I think this is from the 1960's to 70's but not positive. Researching this design I found several smaller versions on the web, but this one is his larger one. Measures 2-7/8" x 2-3/16" and weighs 47.1 grams, so well over an ounce of sterling in this buckle. Curved with hand cut lines into the silver and then a domed sterling circle added to complete the design. Simple yet truly elegant.
Shown on a 1-3/8" wide belt for visuals but it's not included. The actual space in the buckle for a belt is 1-1/2"wide. Though I believe made for men I think a woman could rock this buckle as well!
