    Nice bracelet.:)
    The mark is in Hougart, but no maker ID. The eagle is a later one.

    You'll probably find hundreds of thousands of results for Taxco.;) Taxco is the main silver manufacturing town of Mexico. The streets are lined with silver (work)shops.

    I think I saw another identical bracelet earlier today with yet another mark

    Edit:
    found him

    The mark isn't visible, but it's mentioned: JLF for Jose Luis Flores, with the information that he worked for Hector Aguilar and Emma Melendez and Miguel Garcia Martinez. Unfortunately no AD amongst them either...

    Yes, they do. The Taxco makers are like the Balinese, once something sells, others copy it. That also goes for many other jewellery makers btw.
    This is why you always have to focus on the mark only. Looking for the design sends you down too many rabbit holes.;)

    The maker of gauntlett's bracelet probably copied several popular designs. Which doesn't make it any less beautiful.
