My mom brought home this belt buckle and asked me to help identify the origin. I have no prior experience with this, so I looked around the website for what seemed like forever, but all I could find was that the hallmark with the number in it is probably the origin and the grade (couldn't find a match though) and the other mark is the company. Any information would be wonderful! Thank you so much!

Hi,
There is ``Eagle`` mark instituted by the Mexican government in 1948. The mark on the belt is the second variant (silhouetted eagle) used between 1955 until late 60` or early 70`. The number within it is either the maker or city, but only the first digit is clear, being ``2``.
Take a look here:

Cannot recognize the maker`s mark.
Cheers

I believe the full number is "218" but I'm not sure what that means.
Re: Belt Buckle Hallmarks. New to this
Eagle mark with registered maker`s number 218 has not been identified. It was seen on tea set.
It could be number 214 assigned to Fleming (last letters in the oval mark are ```EMING``).

It`s definitively Fleming silver. Have found exactly the same buckle on their website (still in business).

Google for `` Buckles - Fleming Silver ``Since 1945 Fleming Silver has provided heirloom quality silver jewelry, buckles, spurs, saddle trim and more to riders of all ages. Now, the tradition continues.
