ITEM # BP66 Dug US Carbine Sling Buckle. Great looking ' Double Marked' buckle. I
believe these double marked buckles to be more scarce than the triple
marked for I have seen less of them over the years. Not sure on the provenance
however, I do know it is out of a long time Maker Marked Buckle Collection.
Buckle is marked T.J. Shepard / E. Gaylord Chicopee Mass.
