    Does anyone recognize this mark on this sterling pendant with bail tube? I know it is hard to see. Impressed 925 with Native American profile and the letter P above the 925. Also impressed 'Ed' in and oval and random letter 'M'. There is another impressed symbol in a circle left but my loope can't pick it up (might be a head). Bottom is an open type of monogram similar to Elvis Nelson (without the N). Thank you!!! IMG_0931.jpg IMG_0928.jpg IMG_0929.jpg IMG_0932.jpg

    Cant help but they certainly put plenty of stamps on it!

    Native American jewelry makers rarely, if ever, stamp their items 925. It's usually an indication of a Mexican origin. You may see "sterling" as a stamp, but not 925, since Native Americans don't want their work to be mistaken for non-Native American pieces, that the 925 is associated with.

    I don't see anything about this that would indicate it is Native American.

    IMO it’s not Mexico either and I agree that there is nothing that I see to suggest an NA or Mexican origin. Attractive piece!
