    Can't tell if solid silver, plated or other alloy.
    Any idea of the marks?
    Thanks

    I was hoping someone would come up with the maker by now. I have looked through Wright's "Hallmarks of the Southwest" with no luck. If I was sure what the marks were, I might have better luck. The mark(s) on the far left has me stumped. The punch shape looks kind of like a bird's head facing right. Inside the punch there might??? be a G/C/O and a small something to the right of the letter. The mark(s) in the middle might be the letters "Si." There are 2 marks on the right. The first could be a lower case "g" or the number "9." The 2nd is the head of a bear facing left.

    Anyone, what do you think the marks?

    A cast bracelet , with a wolf in a pine forest , just does not say southwest to me .

    Northwest...maybe ...but not NA...and with marks that I can only describe as spurious .......

    No doubt you may be right with Northwest. I have seen forest, mt. and wolf motifs representing the Yellowstone area of the the country that really isn't southwest or northwest. Since the reintroduction of wolves back into Yellowstone ecosystem (c1995?), wolves have become a popular sale's gimmick for that area.

    The marks do look spurious. Instead of "Si" in the middle it may be "ST" to hint at Sterling.
