    This one has a wonderful "Old Pawn Finish" and a different variety of stamping patterns. It has almost no tarnish but the patina
    applied by the artist makes it look older. It is stamped with a hallmark "HM" and "Sterling" and it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver and authentic. I have been unable to identify the artist, but it may have been made by any of several Navajo smiths that use those initials as their mark.
    The New Black Leather Belt is
    wide and comfortable. It was custom made by Toyo at Dark Star Leather here in Tucson. Having a custom belt made for a Concho set like this is a bit of an expense and a chore. Rest assured, that has been done and all you need to do to make fit, feel, and look perfect on you is to take it to your local leather or shoe repair shop and have them punch the adjustment holes in it...perfect.
    Please, take a good look at the pictures and magnified photographs to see if it is the one for you. If so, I'd love to trade with you today!
    If you like Navajo Concho Belts as much as I do, please feel free to take a look at the many that I have for sale on eBay...
    I ship anywhere
    in the United States
    for free. I will pack this carefully for you so that the conchos do not rub up against each other in transit and it will get to you in the same condition that you see in the pictures. Insurance is included, of course...
    I thank You and look forward to sharing a good experience!
