Here is what I could find. The name is listed in two books, but not tribal affiliation is listed in either. In the Barton Wright book it listed this name as a smith for Indian Hammers. Not sure what that is, a shop or a trading post from days gone by. It also says the stamp first appeared in 1976. The top stamp is updside down. IHMSS=Indian Handmade Sterling Silver.
The turquoise looks to be Sea foam, and the Branch coral looks to be Mediterranean. The post by Steve showing a price is a good representation of what these go for. I never pay more than $200 for these as they tend to sit around for some time before they move.
Nice buckle and very nice coral!
