I think you are right, it does look like a Mexican mark, I don't know why I didn't think of that. When I was searching for similar style rings,...
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone recognize the mark on this ring? It is not cleanly stamped, and these are the best of many photos I...
Lovely examples AJ, thank you. I see what you mean about the caps on the claws.
Thanks. Agree, they don't look like real claws.
