Hello again!
I have a sterling silver eagle ring with a hallmark of the following:
g (which I think is the remainder of "sterling’ which has rubbed away
12GF (gold wash)
TD
Is this possibly Native American? Thank you in advance for looking.

Wow!
What a cool ring, while I don't know if it is Native American or not I like it!
What size is it?
Regards,
Darryl

Thank you Darryl! It is an interesting piece. The ring shows a 10 1/2 on my ring mandrel. After some research I finally came up with this on the web.
Still not sure if it is authentic Native American.
I would feel comfortable calling this Native American made. Great looking piece and nice find on the buckle for your research.

In ‘Hallmarks of the Southwest’. the only T D is Tom David, Navajo, who uses 1/16" gothic stamp. Stamp first used in the 1970s. He is from the Gallup, NM region. No examples of his work shown.Taking the best look that I can, it certainly appears to me that the ring and the buckle are by the same maker.

la324prof,
Thank you for your time and input. The work and the makers mark seem the same. I will try my best to seek out more info on Tom David.
Jason,
May I ask where you would price this if you had this in your shop, please?
I think we would have this around $90 - $120. It is a nice ring and probably has a good weight. The thing would be the eagle is not a handmade piece and the gold fill. Hope this helps.
