Richard Etsitty
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.
Overview
Richard Etsitty is a Navajo silversmith documented in the Hougart hallmark corpus. Hougart's entry is a single line — it records the mark and nothing more. We publish it because the mark is real and collectors will meet it.
Collector's caution: R. E. is an initials-only mark, and initials are the easiest marks to confuse across makers. Our scan also splits this entry's mark line across the column in the tail-above-headword pattern common to this section, so we read it with a light hedge. Weigh an R. E. stamp together with the piece's style, materials, and period before settling on an attribution.
