Hi there! I am new to this forum.
I received this Native American bolo tie a few years ago from a family member. This bolo tie was purchased from a local flea market from when they were living in New Mexico at the time.
My family member expressed to me at the time that they remember it was handmade but the artist is unknown.
My question is, I am not sure if it is real sterling silver or not, but it is stamped on the back.
Any thoughts or advice is welcome and greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

@regirock44 Hi & Welcome! That’s a very nice bolo tie. What makes you think it may not be real? The silversmith has stamped it as sterling to identify its metal purity. Now, why they didn’t include a hallmark, IDK. However, It’s not uncommon to find Native American/Southwestern jewelry stamped for metal purity but without a hallmark.
