End of May 2013, DW and I are doing a road trip along RT.66 and spending a few days through Gallup to Taos, Santa Fe, Albuquerque. I'll be looking for some old pawn silver and turquoise jewelry. I will impose on you then for advice about shops and pricing/ I know the markup to retail is nuts and hope to find some bargains. Keep up the good work.
I understand that B Webb is a more modern Navajo silversmith. I have done research and found many pieces by him / her and they do note he /she is Navajo.
I do not like to list something as Native American unless I can confirm this seeing how Native American pieces do tend to bring higher prices.
Thanks for the information on Navajo pieces. I did not know the earlier pieces were coin silver and I did not know how they were crafted.
