Bohlin silver mounted youth saddle, an Olaf Wieghorst (1899-1988) Oil Painting, plus spirited bidding on a wide variety of western artifacts including famous Hollywood Movie and TV cowboy memorabilia. However, the surprise of the sale, and undoubtedly a new world’s record was price set by the winning bid on a stunning, 3-color gold filigreed Belt Buckle made for Edward H.
