I am trying to identify the maker of this vintage brooch. It has a zigzag mark and looks to be Native American or have Native American influence. The maker's mark is a zigzag, wave, lightning bolt or perhaps conjoined MW. It is also marked with the number 65, which I believe may be the year it was made. I picked up a few pieces with this mark recently and would love to know the maker.

Another board suggests that this piece in not Native American, but an American studio piece. Maker is still not identified.

Still researching - any thoughts it could be an early Thomas Mann mark?
