I cross posted this on the history board. We had a collection of WWII and Vietnam artifacts donated. I am trying to locate some information on this belt buckle. I can't find it in any reference books and my google skills have failed me. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes. Only proof mark on it is "Sterling" with a small symbol I can't make out next to it.

Pretty close. It us only about an 1/8 in size. Looks quite similar maybe just a different design?

I'd think it's the same. IF so this is the manufacturer
Pryor Mfg. Co.
Newark, NJ 1909-c. 1915
Became a part of B.M. Shanley, Jr., Co

In 1907 the company restyled their name to Pryor Mfg. Co.. Part of their trade mark was adjusted from 'N' to 'M'
