Rare very old Navajo Native American Indian silver turquoise eagle pin c. 1920's

  
I have seen a lot of " Fred Harvey " items from the 1940's to the 1960's advertised as " 1920's or 1930's " Not the case here. This is the real deal. A fine old piece that is definitely before 1930 and may even be from the teens!

Everything is hand made, the eagle (or possibly thunderbird) is hand hammered (probably coin silver) with extensive filing and hammer marks on the back, nice wear and patina and great old stamping. The bezels are smooth hand made and fairly tall. Even the pin, hinge and "C" clasp are completely hand made! This is a real collector's piece.

Excellent worn condition, a few cracks to the stones, but all are tight and solid, and not too noticeable. You won't find another like this for a long time! About 2 7/8" wide by 2 1/8" tall.

A very nice and rare collector's item. Images are part of the description. Please see my other listings for more Native American jewelry, rings, earrings, pins, pendants, bracelets, etc.
