The company began in San Francisco in 1886 when J.C. Irvine partnered with a man named Jachens and began making brass and silver conchos (and later badges) at the J.C. Irvine Company (later Irvine \u0026amp; Jachens) on Mission Street. In the 1920s, Christian Stegman bought the company, doing silverwork for saddles for Keyston Brothers and others until parade saddles fell out of vogue in the late 1950s. By 1971, Christian Stegman’s sons had divided the business, with Howard Stegman (James’ dad) pushing silver buckles instead of badges and moving his company, rechristened Comstock Silversmiths, to Carson City, Nevada, where it still is today. In 1993, James re-launched Comstock Heritage, and since then has produced some of America's finest silver and gold buckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eartist: Comstock Silversmiths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehallmarks: COMSTOCK GERMAN SILVER SILVERSMITHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eengraved \"BIG PINEY JR.
