SIMPLE DETAILS Simple details are always beautiful. This belt and buckle from Comstock Silversmiths are the epitome of that. The sleek vintage leather strap is a great base for the details of the nickel silver buckle. A simple patterned design is etched around the round buckle and finished with a smooth, clean center. It may be a simple belt, but it isn't lacking in beauty. HISTORY: Comstock Silversmiths is one of “America’s Oldest Western Silversmiths” and has been around for 120 years. The company began in San Francisco in 1886, when J.C. Irvine partnered with a man named Jachens to make brass and silver conchos (and later badges) at the J.C. Irvine Company (later Irvine & Jachens) on Mission Street. In the 1920s, Christian Stegman bought the company, doing silverwork for saddles for Keyston Brothers and others until parade saddles fell out of vogue in the late 1950s. By 1971, Christian Stegman’s sons had divided the business, with Howard Stegman (James’ dad) pushing silver buckles instead of badges and moving his company, rechristened Comstock Silversmiths, to Carson City, Nevada, where it still is today. In 1993, James relaunched Comstock Heritage and has since produced some of America's finest silver and gold buckles.
