Any known Kachina mark with a c near the bottom of the dress above the feet on Sterling Belt Buckle?

Here is the mark on the back of a belt buckle - complete set with turquoise cabochons, arrows, feathers, sunbursts, geometric triangle edge. Leaning towards Navajo, but I have no idea. I have been searching different sites / marks, but haven’t had success. A recent purchase in Apache Junction, AZ.

I’m of no assistance on the hallmark, but I can say that you’ve acquired yourself a beautfiul ranger set. I love the tooled leather, as well. :+1:

I believe that’s one of the many Maisel’s trading post marks.

thank you - I do think it was a lovely and lucky find!

I did check on Maisel trading post marks and found nothing similar - mainly as this one had initial(s). Do you have a link that has more of their Kachina markings?

site is not always 100% accurate, but this shows several.

Ah, yes - thank you. This site is fantastic and one where I checked every single marking, but did not find a match.

You must have missed this one. It looks to be a match

Yes - this is definitely helpful and a confirmation. This mark is a more perfect impression. Thanks so much!

I understand this is unnecessary, as @Jemez2 and @markyboy57 already clarified the suspicion, but this promotional copper tray provides you another example, @Ssalt. :+1:
