Old Pawn 880 to 890 Silver; RARE Snake Symbol Use w/Eagle Navajo Letter Opener

I have for sale a 880 to 890 silver Native American letter opener. Most likely made from ingot silver. As you can see from the photographs, this shows very light wear and some nominal damage at the tip that will/should be professionally restored. For all intents and purposes, it is basically near coin silver and shows clear signs of being hand worked with relevant imperfections - please use the photographs to come to your own conclusions.

The grip portion of the letter opener is a snake (a very rare symbol to find used in a piece like this) rising up to touch the eagle. At the head of the letter opener is the eagle symbol with a cabochon turquoise stone measuring 5.5mm x 4.3mm - due to the mounting I cannot determine the depth.

The total length of this item is 6 1/2", it is 11.16mm at its widest on the blade, and the eagle is right at 15.12mm wide. The thickness varies, bit the blade bit is about 1.83mm thick and the grip is about 1.95mm thick.

The Navajo consider the eagle to represent courage, wisdom and strength with a purpose of being the messenger to the creator. The snake can represent speed and swiftness. A well thought out combination for this piece. It is unsigned and has no metal mark.

This piece is in what I consider to be acceptable pre-owned condition and has been x-ray tested for metal make-up to confirm the metal content of the silver.

I typically do not polished silver pieces and leave that to the new owner to decide. This piece would make a outstanding addition to your collection.

Thanks you in advance for the opportunity to earn your business and for checking out my item. I do look forward to providing you with a great experience.

Why do business with me?

  • This store really is all about paying for college tuition and books for 4 college students! With four kids in college - yes.... 4 kids currently enrolled in college - my full time job really is making sure that all of the college expenses are paid for through this buying and selling operation....and it is a job. Your business helps me to meet those expenses every semester and to protect our kids from being a slave to the lender. It's a long road with at least 4 more years of hard work to do. So, when I say our family appreciates your business, I can assure you, we really do appreciate it!  
  • I try very hard to provide outstanding customer service from the beginning of your transaction through to the end. While I am far from perfect, in my heart I want to treat you in the same way that I would like to be treated when I am doing business with someone. 
  • Best offers; With fixed priced listings, I research every item I list in order to list an item at a fair price. That is not to say that markets don't change or I made an error. If you submit an offer, I will either accept it or decline it. On a few occasions I may have to think hard about it for a day or two, but most items I'll know straight away whether it's a fair offer or not. 
  • Auctions - I will not end an auction early for a buy it now offer, it really is unfair to the seller and other buyers to ask. 
  • I will ship your items promptly and make sure your tracking details are updated. I always follow up with an email to let you know what is going on with your order when it is ready to go out - please make sure your email address is up to date. With your buyer dashboard, tracking you package is as easy as clicking on the tracking number :)
  • If you have an issue with anything you purchase from me, regardless of what the listing says about returns, simply contact me. I'll either take it back, or issue a refund. What I will not do, is make you keep something that did not meet with your expectations.

Thank You!
