Custom Trophy Buckle Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I get my trophies?
Most orders ship in 4 - 6 weeks. Subtract a week for German silver buckles, add
a week for black nickel buckles and those displaying your brand. Ship dates can
vary by season and parts availability.
Can you make
my deadline?
We work very closely with Montana Silversmiths and pledge to do all we can to
respect your event date. But please, do not enter "bogus" deadlines in the MY
ABSOLUTE DEADLINE field of your Shopping Cart. Unrealistic deadlines will actually
delay your order as it will not be submitted for production until we are satisified
that we are capable of meeting your deadline.
What can I
do to ensure my order arrives on time?
Order early. The only way to rush an order is with faster shipping. It is not
possible to rush the production process.
Do
you have additional discounts?
Yes! Discounts
for 10 + trophy items will display inaccurate pricing in our Shopping Cart; we
will adjust your order cost upon receipt. Write to us at
and we will supply a hard quote.

What
are the buckles made of?
You will
not find a more beautiful (and affordable) buckle than those from BuckleBuilder.com,
where we feature Montana Silversmiths’ legendary Montana Armor™ finish. The undisputed
leader throughout the competitive world for 35 years, known as the most rugged
and gorgeous finish available at realistic prices. Montana Armor™ starts with
a brass base and then “locks” silver and gold to its surface. Solid sterling silver
is also available; ask us for a quote. See below for information about German
Silver trophy buckles.
Why are German silver buckles less expensive?
German Silver is another name for nickel, the same material as the coin in your
pocket. Nickel is less expensive than silver or brass. You can rest assured that,
even though our solid German silver trophy buckles are less expensive, they are
truly beautiful and rugged nevertheless. We highly recommend German silver trophy
buckles for the budget-conscious event planner.
Can I add or subtract ribbons from a buckle?
Sorry, the engraveable ribbons are not changeable.
Can I
engrave my buckles after I have received them?
Engraving is one of the first things in the buckle creation process. Because of
the unique nature of the Montana Armor finish, post-production engraving
is not recommended.
How many characters
can a buckle display?
Each buckle's order page shows the maximum number of characters and spaces that
may be engraved on each engraveable ribbon. These limits may not be exceeded.
Do
you take checks?
We accept
checks from your organization or company. Select "Organization Check or Money
Order" in our shopping cart's credit card menu.
Are
other types of trophies available?
Yes. Check out our Trophies,
Awards & Gifts category as well our Trophy
Sculptures.
