Eagle 17 Teran design Mexican silver Cufflinks and Tie Bar

I recently acquired a collection of vintage Mexican sterling silver cufflinks and tie bars and I decided to start with the most intriguing to me set. Undoubtedly based on a Salvador Teran design, I am hesitant to say that the trio is a Salvador original yet at the same time I am tempted to think so. The reason for my vacillation is the incomplete (?) hallmarking. Even though the quality and attention to detail in the design's execution is there, I can't find Salvador's signature. The rest of the marks, however, including Eagle 17 (which was used by Teran for a while - and I thank Patrick Capty of Cufflinks Galore for the information) are present and clearly stamped. Whatever the case might be, here it is - one of Taxco's most iconic modernist designs for your enjoyment...
