Re: Help Very Rare French Putti Snuff Box Hallmark ID Needed

Further more, if it was that common wouldn't there be a vast quantity on eBay and other auction sites? I have been in this business over 35 years and only have come across less than 3. Its an insult that you would call it fake.

Re: Help with hallmark on pendant

I just searched my Hallmarks of the Southwest for you and was unable to locate that hallmark anywhere in the book. My best guess for that piece is that it would have to be Navajo due to the chunkiness of the piece and the use of the turquoise matrix. This piece is newer I would say prob 1980's.
