Hello tneters,

I hope there is someone out there that can help me identify this silver ring i found at an old dumpsite. I do not know for the life of me where to begin the research. here are a few pics. the stamp is hard to see but magnified 10x... i have blown it up and still can't make anything out. Thank you.

Not only have I never seen anything similar, I don't know that anyone else has either. It looks like a custom handmade piece. The images don't make any sense, it has what looks like a cowboy on a rampant stallion on the face, with sea-dragons on the side and a rosette on the bottom. I can't make anything out in the stamp either.

I cannot make out marks... cannot read them.
This in my opinion is a TAXCO piece...
See if you can make this word out... then do searches for taxco rings in the category yourself.
The other mark will be maker who worked for Taxco...
Try to make his name out... do searches for "name" "taxco"

Go to this website and settle in with some cold adult beverages- the hallmark is going to be a key in your quest.

I'd also recommend signing up and logging on. Post your photos as there are some very smart guy's on that site. I've used it before.

Good luck.
