ThisOld NavajoCoin Silver Concho Belthas the wonderful soft \"glow\" that you don\'t find in Sterling Silver...no matter how tarnished it is. I don\'t have a multi-thousand dollar metal tester, so I can\'t tell you the specific Silver content. I believe it to be made from US Coins that were .90 Silver (Sterling Silver is .925). It is of course not hallmarked, as was common before the 1970\'s. It is a \"Phase One Revival\" style and my guess is that it was made in the 1940\'s +/-.

I love to find Concho Belts and to trade them. The vast majority of them are Sterling Silver, as you can see from my many Concho Belt listings on right now. It is a rare pleasure to offer this Old Coin Silver Concho Belt for sale to you. It is sublime.

The Belt has somevery interesting drilled accents and stamping. Some of the stamps look like they were made using files. The Repousse domes very slightly in height and configuration. I has lots of tarnish, especially on the backsides. The Concho Belt is Notstamped \"Sterling\",but it is guaranteed to be Coin Silver (.90) and authentic. These conchas are thick, heavy, and very well worked. The dark glowing tarnished patina is quite desirable to collectors and has it has had several decades of careful ownership. I\'m sorry that this isnot a \"Talking Concho Belt\" because it must have some good stories to tell!Please,take a good look at the pictures and magnified photographs to see if itis the one for you. Ifso, I\'d love to trade with you today!

Iship anywhere in the United States for free. I will pack this carefully for you so that the conchas do not rub up against each other in transit and it willget to you in the same condition that you see in the pictures.Insurance is included, of course...

I thankYou and look forward to sharing a good experience!
