I bought a piece very similar to this, it turned out to not be sterling but alpaca. There are a lot of falsely marked Mex pieces out there. Bracelets are the only things I have found so far but a lot of them.
If it has an eagle head (this kind of resembles one) rather than the true eagle assay of a full eagle then it is almost certain to be alpaca. I have never found one with that mark that tested silver. Your best bet would be to have it tested by a jeweler or pawn shop.
