welcome to Turquoise People? Your piece looks real, nice. It would be Navajo.

Thanks! Im trying to win at auction… figuring how much I want to pay… :wink:

Does anyone recognize the initials SX as a Navajo silversmith? I’m looking at an inlaid bear, spiny oyster. But I can’t find those initials? Thanks.

Hello, can you send a link to the listing or an image of the bear and hallmark?
