He turned 90 and decided to sell part of his collection. I was told that they only made 2500 of each buckle, so the number is the "serial number" up to 2500. Adina Silversmiths from what my research has led was a silversmith company in England. Tiffany & Co. had their stamp on some of the buckles as well as Adina. So, you have a rare, limited edition piece, and it was made between 1970-1975. I would put it closer to the 1970 mark.included is a letter my uncle sent to a dealer. Adina Silversmiths is out of business.
