I have this silver Conch Belt with clear mark. Can anyone say with any certainty who made it? I looked in the usual places and come up possibly Annie Begay. But it’s not an exact match. I thank everyone for your help.
Possibly Arthur Platero Navajo. Here is a more typically signed AP piece the artist not identified. Found at least three versions of the AP mark attributed to Arthur Platero found on concho pieces.
I should’ve said something but the mark is definitely an AB. The B is a little weak at the bottom and looks like a P, but it’s not.

Here is a list of names in Houghart’s book you could research that have an AB hallmark. Art Batala, Abraham Begay, Anna Begay, Abel Begaye, Albert Bighand, Alex Beeshligaii, Aurelia Bohlen.
