Coast Guard Auxiliary uniform regulations authorize the wear of a silver buckle with either the black or white web belt on almost every uniform except formal wear (Dinner Dress Black/White Jacket) and the Operational Duty uniform.
Our buckle features a satin finish, which is created through a process of sandblasting brass before applying the silver plating. The best method to preserve the distinct, non-shiny appearance of our satin silver buckle is to use spray-on silver polish with tarnish preventative, allow it to dry, then polish it off without applying too much pressure that can smoothen the silver and make it shiny rather than a matte finish.
