Ok hello all!

I have a very old Navajo necklace its silver that I am sure of. Its has a symbol of a lamp on the back as a signature of sorts it has Navajo engraved at the top of the back of the cross so I know its from the Navajo nation but I have no clue as to its history or its value.

I do know it appears to be sand cast and its very old but how old I have no clue. It has no other markings as to the silver content so if anyone has a clue please let me know.

A very old man gave it to me a long time ago and apparently he was Indian. LOL!

I also wanted to edit one of the photos to show where the markings were on the cross on the back side. But this is not going to happen now. I can only say look where the blurred mark is on the lower part of the cross is and this is the best my camera will get of the lamp that's stamped into it!

Well if you have any clues please let me know.

My humble thanks!

Well I used the search function and now I have a bit more information on it about the 3 crowns so I now know its is definitely 3 crowns I am seeing and not 3 W's.

I have looked many times over the last few days as to information on this piece but to no luck I hadn't found anything!

And since I found it only had the Letter "M" before the 3 crowns I am assuming this piece is pre 1930's

Ok I just found out everything about the item since it was my first time ever looking for information on an object since I am not a collector or silver person.

The piece was made in 1959 in Malmo and has no content mark other then its "Sterling"

Thanks for your help moderator! Now the Navaho piece is my next concern! It has even fewer markings
