DAKOTA TERRITORY BELT BUCKLE COLLECTION The DTGCA Collector Belt Buckle, where did it originate from, how many are there, when were they first produced? One of the original founders of the DTGCA, Karl George, was the biggest promoter in getting the belt buckle started. The Association was founded in 1961 but the buckle did not surface until 1980. Two others were made but not issued for sale by DTGCA. One was around 1983 round, black and yellow on a silver like metal. The other made before 1980, 3 different styles, not much information on these. The buckle is issued every three years. The Association was fortunate to purchase the entire collection up to 1998 from the estate of Erv Schillinger. Between Karl George and Erv, it would be a fair assumption to say you will not find two greater promoters of the buckles then they were. The entire inventory was sold by time the next buckle came into production. 2019 BELT BUCKLE NOW AVAILABLE 100 MADE $25.00 EACH DUELING PISTOLS owner Rick Schmaltz Bismarck, ND
