Posts from Benscout in thread „The Red River D Belt Buckle“

I agree if I had such an item it would be locked up and shown to only the few. It must have meant a lot to the Duke since it was worn in so many photos and movies.

Well from what I see on line if I want a Red River I need to drop the $50.00. Glad to know that I was not imagining things the buckle was worn in multiple movies.

Guess I don't have to peel my eyes on that movie. Though many might disagree I like Rooster a touch better than True Grit.

Tbone, Thanks....This whole idea started when I moved my JW standup and I noticed the buckle. Then started looking at other pictures and noticed it showed up a lot. Based on Red River being an older movie I thought it had to be worn a lot more than one movie.

Last year I asked at the Winterset museum and they could not offer any info on the buckles. With the exception of course they are available on line. BTW I'm only 3 hours from Winterset but if you haven't gone since they built it a few years back you surely should.

My question is was the Red River buckle worn in all cowboy movies ( of course John Wayne movies) after making Red River ?
