Step into Western elegance with a Trophy Buckle meticulously crafted by hand right here in Texas. The Bexar 1800 features five sterling silver arrows and one broken arrow in gold. 

32 years ago, Clint designed this piece in his Houston workshop. It was a unique night, that led to this special buckle being created as a highly limited design – there are only 500 made.

If you're someone who appreciates a wearable piece of art that's added to your wardrobe as a one of a kind piece... You'll want to be among the select few who have this Bexar 1800 Trophy Buckle.

Here's the story of inspiration from the night Clint created this design, in his own words:

"The Broken Arrow was inspired by the gang firearms shooting going on outside my shop on Rasmus, just off Janetta Way in Houston. Some of you know that shop well...

I was thinking of the American Indians' lifestyle and my good friend, Michael Redshirt, when the gunfire commenced. The 12-15 rounds of shots went off long enough for me to have some thoughts of the life of the American Indians.

I visioned two tribes in a big open field attacking each other, arrows flying and loads of Indian chatter, and the Chief walking out in the green pasture and breaking his Best Arrows as a sign of peace.

Then the party began and the peace pipes were passed and who knows how long the peace remained.

Hopefully many moons.

RIP Michael Redshirt. Thank you for always being there for me."

Symbolism of Broken Arrows

In American Indian history, the breaking of arrows symbolizes the desire for peace. Imagine the scene: a lone chief, standing tall amidst the chaos of battle.

His heart is heavy with the weight of war. Instead of fighting, he chooses a different path – one of reconciliation and understanding.

With a solemn gesture, he breaks his finest arrows. This timeless symbol of courage and diplomacy served as the inspiration behind Clint's design.
