Tie Clip with small Thunderbird

I found this clip at a Estate Sale today. It has no marking I could find. I have no idea if it is silver, real turquoise or even Native American. The bird is about the size of a penny. I found two like it on line, with the bird facing the opposite direction. In the Native American Culture is there any significance to the direction the bird faces, or just the artists preference? Thank you.

I’m pretty sure it’s NA. Fairly early. I have a very similar one.

If it’s not Native American, it’s probably Fred Harvey and also very desirable.

Thank you for your input.
I saw 3 online forsale. . One identical, but facing the opposite direction… Not sure if it has meaning or signifies a particular artist’s style. One facing opposite direction and no turquoise, and the last one had the Thunderbird sitting on top of the arrow.

This is the one my son gave me ages ago. Sometimes I just wear it slid across a button up shirt along with a necklace.
