Old heavy antique bracelet

[badassbriotch]

Its silver, with some sort of sliding pin clasp definitely looks old. Anyone know where I can find more information or know how old it might be? Worth anything? It weighs about 28g ...

Taxco... worth something for sure.

The maker is Los Ballesteros, originally established in Iguala in 1937 as Talleres de Los Ballesteros. They moved to Taxco in 1941, so the mark is from that date onwards but they’re still going strong today using essentially the same mark. The pin closure probably puts it somewhere in the region of 1941 to early 1950s though. Quality maker.

Are your sure it only weighs 28g though? That seems light for the size you’re showing and there’s an identically styled one on eBay at the moment for a ‘buy-it-now’ price of $195 but it weighs in at 96g

Nice vintage Taxco bracelet - looks like you are missing the closure link that would be secured by the pin catch on the other end .There are plenty of collectors who specialize in this sort of thing .
With the information on the maker given above , you should be able to find yours online with no difficulty .
