I know some will give opinions on turquoise attribution but I come from the school that unless one is there where the stone was mined or a known...
It actually goes back earlier but by specific artists like Loloma. Stamping wasn’t across the board til the 80s.
I absolutely disagree with the FH attribution and believe the piece is no earlier than 80s but my opinion is based 100% on gut feeling only.
I think it’s later…certainly modernist but IMO that piece would never have existed in the 70s with that stamp.
I can’t ID the Shabie but agree it’s Navajo although modernist. Prob 80s/90s… Nor could I but the piece is newer IMO and my books aren’t.

Closer to a Gucci link.
LOL. Take it in…
Just take it into Vuitton for a repair. You’ve got virtually nothing invested in it and it’s worth hundreds. Even if it were fake and they...
Neither would I.
The biggest prob with misalignment are on the licensed pieces which are 1979-approx. 1992. The San Dimas CA factory opened in approx. 1995 and...
There actually are variances in hardware. Vuitton’s factory pieces are brass or brass coated. The licensed pieces are nickel.
Trust me on this. YES newer Vuitton is pretty clean but older pieces aren’t. I turned down a new key case about 10 ago as the LV was off center...
Agree on stitching except on vintage licensed pieces which can be extremely itregular.
NOT true. I’ve posted on other threads with pics of my own bought at retail pieces with cut off LVs. Vuitton tries their best to center and not...

Here’s a datecode. Yours must have one. That edgestain too please. [ATTACH]
