Raymond Etsitty
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.
Overview
Raymond Etsitty is a Navajo silversmith documented in the Hougart hallmark corpus. His entry is a single line — it records the name and nation, and in our scan, not much more survives cleanly. We publish it because the entry is real and collectors will meet the name.
Collector's caution: Our scan of Hougart interleaves the mark lines of this entry with the neighboring Richard Etsitty entry — two mark tails ("C. T. E." and "R. E.") run together across the column, and we cannot say with confidence which mark belongs to Raymond. Until this is verified against a physical copy of Hougart, treat any mark attribution to Raymond Etsitty as unconfirmed.
The Mark
"Raymond Etsitty (Navajo). [adjacent-column mark tails — '.Mark:C. T. E.' / 'rk:R. E.' — interleave with the Richard Etsitty entry in the scan; assignment not confident]"
— Hougart, Bille. Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks, 5th ed. (2022), entry at approx. scan line 13998.
The marks as documented in the Hougart corpus: not confidently assignable from our scan — the column interleave prevents attributing either visible mark tail to this entry. Verify at a physical copy.
