Bexar 1800 Sterling & Gold Broken Arrow Trophy Buckle

The Bexar 1800 Broken Arrow Trophy Buckle was inspired by a story Clint Orms often shared about a moment of reflection during his years in Houston. Drawing from the traditions of Native American peacemaking and the symbolism of a broken arrow, this design represents unity, understanding, and the strength found in choosing peace. The buckle serves as a tribute to Clint's friend, Michael Redshirt, whose friendship and influence helped shape the meaning behind this enduring design.

Crafted from sterling silver, the Bexar 1800 features sterling silver arrows highlighted by a 14 Karat Yellow Gold broken arrow at its center. The contrast of precious metals emphasizes the symbolism of the design while showcasing the hand engraving and craftsmanship that define Clint Orms Engravers & Silversmiths.

Made and engraved by hand in Texas by Clint Orms Engravers & Silversmiths. Due to the handmade nature of Clint Orms trophy buckles, engraved patterns may vary, making each piece uniquely its own.

"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 envisioned 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."
