<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 111061, member: 36"]The cross looks like it was hand cut from sheet silver. Navajos used to do that sometimes, but Mexican smiths might have too. That goes double for someone working outside one of the major silver manufacturing centers. It's cool because of the wear on it, not despite it. That cross "been there done that" and you have to wonder what it saw. From the wear I wouldn't be surprised if your uncle wore that thing all the way across Europe on his dog tags, and after he came home there it stayed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
