Identify Conch Shell(Buckle)

Post by zbetten »

I have a set of buckles that is Navajo Conch Shell with Bisbee Turquoise. Have symbol in back and wish to identify who the maker is? Hopefully someone out there knows and can help?

Unfortunately I am a new user and not a technical expert on computers so since I do not see a way for me to attach the .jpg image here and the pictures are saved on my H:Drive I am unable to post the images here. All I know is that it definitely is a sterling silver Navajo Conch Shell belt buckle (I have a set of these 1 main buckle and 4 smaller ones) and in the back there is a symbol or hallmark stamp which looks like a D [symbol] D. The symbol looks like either a man on horseback or a Herbert Taylor Navajo hallmark.

Can someone help please? Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your question cannot be answered without the required images, but this should help:

Hello and thank you so much for the instructions. I gave it a try but the picture is too wide and have no clue how to decrease it so have inserted the URLs and something called Direct Links for Layouts. Hope something works here:
