Help identifying this belt buckle

I just purchased this from an estate sale. I don’t know much about belt buckles. I think it may be from the 70s, possibly sand cast, ?brass. The hallmark looks like an Ao to me. I’d appreciate any help. Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Looks like Navajo-made silver sandcast to me. The “brass” color you’re seeing is most likely tarnish. Hard to tell from the photos. Can’t help on the hallmark or turquoise mine. I’d say 70s or later would be accurate. If you can figure out the hallmark, you might be able to narrow down the age. Nice piece!

Thank you for the information. Should I clean it or leave it as is?
