    I saw this and thought sand-cast Navajo. But does the surface look right?

    Id also appreciate any ideas as to age.

    I don't see anything that looks like a signature.

    The last picture is probably more 'natural color' than the others.

    Thank you.

    As far as I can tell, they're just scratches. My eyesight's not what it used to be tho...

    On second thought... maybe crude initials?

    I see "EFE" or "LFE" and some sort of writing under it ? I saw some Hopi buckles that had scratched in writing,maybe its Hopi?
