Went to a sale this am before dawn, jewelry & vintage clothing advertised. Sweet old couple. Some nice rhinestones (a Schreiner pin/earring set, etc) but this pendant really had my interest - odd, since this is not my thing. Lady had no idea how much to ask, so I took pics & told her I'd ask here. Supposed to go back after 3 to see the clothing & more jewelry.....would like to buy this piece if we can determine a fair price.
Really looks like sterling but not marked as such, just the stamped design shown below. Surely turquoise, & perhaps bear claw? Probably a bit over 2" in length; maybe 1.5" wide. Any idea of the maker or age? Any other suggestions welcome.

Illegal to sell bear claws, bird talons, and most other animal parts in most locations in the USA
All you will see here are "imitation"
