Orr Sterling Belt Buckle Questions

[silverly]

As is so often the case, looking any information at all. Because it is marked ORR and STERLING on the front, I don’t expect to be American. But I am open to any thoughts on this piece.

This buckle was advertised as being silver and brass, but when I had it checked at a Jewelry and Diamond Exchange retail store, the gold was found to be 14K.

::::: I did try but I was bounced around between an ORR & Sons maker in India, and there seems to be another ORR maker that I presume to be American, that is odd that the hallmarks are on the front of the buckle, I get kind of a "studio jewelry" feeling about this piece, it is a fantastic piece and I wish I could figure out the maker because I would like to see more of this maker's work. ::::::::::::

If you Google ORR sterling you can find more items. Also see ORR Reykjavik, although they are around since 2006 perhaps not a "contender "

Thank you both for looking into this maker. I’ll follow up as far as possible. For whatever difference it may make, the buckle was bought in Texas.
