Identifying Sterling J Hallmark on Bolo Tie

Snagged this bolo tie at a thrift store for $6, trying to see if I can ID the artist or at least confirm as authentic. Hallmark is the word Sterling with a J centered below it. The Art Amerindian site suggests maybe Jason Livingston or Jacqueline Silver but I don’t know enough to move forward from there.

nice buy for that price.
font of the sterling stamp does not match
anything stamped on the bolo lock?

Jacqueline Silver doubtful

Good call, I dunno why I didn’t catch that, guess I’d fixated on the J and not the material stamp. Nothing stamped on the lock front, back, or sides, and by the difference in sheen and the verdigris I’m thinking it’s a different material like nickel silver.

Still happy for 6 bucks, my first bolo, all my family has had them for years and I just never got one.
