Maker: Irvine & Jachens (or Irvine Jachens Inc.), a company with a long history in crafting emblems, badges, and silver goods in California.
Materials: The bolo tie is made of sterling silver with a steer head design in a contrasting copper material, set on a leather or braided cord with metal tips (often sterling silver or German silver, though copper tips also exist).
Design: The use of contrasting metals (sterling silver and copper) is a design element that adds a distinctive look. The steer head is a classic Western motif, appealing to collectors of cowboy and rodeo-themed items.
Authenticity: Authentic Irvine & Jachens pieces are typically marked with their name and "Sterling Silver" or "German Silver" (a nickel alloy).
