IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME FIND ANY INFO ABOUT THIS BELT BUCKLE AND WHAT IT MAY BE WORTH. MY GRANDFATHER PASSED IT DOWN TO US.  ALL I KNOW IS HE GOT IT FROM THE LAST COWBOY WHO OWNED THE LAST PARCEL OF FARMLAND THAT WAS SOLD TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY.  ALTHOUGH THE CITY WAS GROWING QUICKLY HE HELD ONTO THAT LAND AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.  I AM NOT SURE WHAT HIS NAME WAS BUT HE MADE ONLY TWO OF THESE AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE VERY VALUABLE.  HE ENGRAVED HIS INITIALS MDM 1921 ON THE BACK OF IT SO I DON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE WAS MASS PRODUCED.  I'M ALSO NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT IT IS MADE OF BUT IT IS VERY HEAVY.

I have an old belt buckle that was designed for the last cowboy who owned the last piece of farmland sold to the city of Los Angeles. I have been told that there is only 2 in existance and it is very rare and worth a lot.  It says san claritas valley on it and I am wondering if anyone has anymore info about how much it could be worth as well as how to find out more about it.  Let me know at ramirezsoccerfamily@yahoo.com if you can help. thank, candice
