My father gave me this, I think its pretty great. The only thing is I can't find anything out about it, and I have looked, A lot. Basically the story goes that in the seventies my old man would rent out his B3 organ to touring bands, because B3s with the full size Lesley were so big that they were cheaper to rent than to haul around the country. So, when I asked him where he got it, he tells me the stones gave it to him...... in 75....... as thanks for borrowing the instrument. Now my father has had this buckle as long as I can remember, in that time he has never played a rolling stones album. Not once.
Now, I know that that he was in a local band in the 70s, and that he rented his B3 out to many touring acts, mainly but not exclusively to United Artists. On the other hand, he has slowly slipped towards senility over the last few years. So thats the gambit. if anyone knows anything about this buckle, I would be greatly appreciative to know if I'm sporting a china made rip off or a hand made priceless relic.
How often I dawn this buckle will be determined.

Thank you to Greg Wallraven from Vintage USA who gave me a tip that this buckle might have been made by Dynabuckle. I contacted the company and heard back from Pam Argyle who said it IS a Dynabuckle from the early Eighties. Also, as it turns out they are located about fifty miles from me and I am starting the process of having a run of buckles made for my band Folk Hogan. So thats Awesome! Thank you again Greg. Your Rock!
