George, I heard this from a guy down the street that had a friend that had a cousin that knew a guy that had a cousin that had a friend that knew someone working where they made the belt buckles ... he told his friend who told his cousing that then told his friends cousing who told this guy that apparently one of the 500 buckles where forgotten when made and they years later found it and with the equipment gone for stamping the numbers they tried to find all 499 buckles they had sold to determine the number of the "blank" one but never managed to do so ... then the friends cousin's friend ... you know the story ... got hold of it and sold it and up until this day they don't know the missing number that should have been engraved onto that buckle youown :dumb:
