Any ideas on the maker mark? All I’ve found is one similar that said old pawn. Many thanks for your time and knowledge.

@Mailman55 Hello, are you asking because you think it’s Native American made? Was it represented to you as such? I see nothing about it that relates to SW Native jewelry.

I’m generally suspicious of anything online that says “old pawn” unless it has a ticket. The reason I said online is I that have been to reputable stores that had a pawn section, and I trusted the dealers. Even with that, just a ticket doesn’t mean it’s “old” pawn. And I don’t like the term used just to describe something that people think is vintage, even though I know this is sometimes done. I have pawn tickets for a number of my pieces, so I know for a fact they are so, even though they’re not old pawn (and the sellers didn’t claim that). To me these terms mean something specific.
Edit: let me specify what I don’t trust is just general Etsy, ebay, etc, posts saying old pawn. I know there are reputable stores and dealers that sell online.
