Ranger sets traditionally include a buckle, a single or pair of belt guides and a belt tip.  This set is missing the tip which, fortunately, is the least important part of a ranger set.  We believe this is Navajo in origin based on the silver work.  Small round turquoise stones encircle the buckle edge and there are three stones on each belt guide.

 

Condition: very good condition

Provenance: from the estate of a former Indian art shop owner in New Mexico
