I get the impression that this Silver buckle may have been cast however not having seen any paperwork about it, are the cups simply silver discs that have been applied and do not have any inlay in them.
I can see how they have been fitted where the metalwork of the buckle curls around into a tight scoll and the cups are fitted with rivets going thro' the scolls, hence the reason one of the cups is missing where the rivet has come out.
