This is a fun one for me asit presented a bit of a challenge. It is signed with a \"W\" hallmark as well as\"STERLING\". I\'ve used my little reference library and found no fewer than eight possible artiststhat use a \"W\" hallmark. I was able to eliminate most of them and was hoping the I might be able to confirm that this was madeby \"Waddie\" Crazy Horse of the Red Dakota Tribe. He was the only one who used a \"W\" hallmrark identicalin type style to this one. It turns out that Waddie is a younger guy and did not start producing jewelry until about 1988. My guess is that this Concho Belt has more than 25 years of tarnish on it. So, I can not tell you that I am 100% confident in my atribution. I have listed it as Navajo because it is most likely Navajo made if Waddie didnot make it...In any event, it is a beauty and has a very intriguing stamping and design! If you like it, take a good look at the pictures and magnified photograps to see if itis the one for you. Ifso, I\'d love to trade with you today!

If you like Navajo Concho Belts as much as I do, please feel free to take a look at themany that I have for sale on ...
