Re: Vintage 925 silver Mexican belt buckle
This pieces value is going to correspond directly with it's value in silver weight. about $50-75 at best. In the past when silver was $10 an ounce or less, this would have been a $15-$20 item. There are very few exemptions that go above their melt weight with today's silver prices, nearly all Mexican silver is of low quality and carry zero premiums.

Re: Vintage 925 silver Mexican belt buckle
If it is just gold gilted (thin layer of plating) I'm afraid not. If for instance, the horse is a solid chunk of gold, then yes, it would certainly add some value.
