Scarf Slide Punched Circles

German Silver Scarf Slide with Punched Circles This Scarf Slide Punched Circles has punched circular designs at the bottom for a textured look. The crafter shaped the German Silver into a house shape with an open face to slide your scarf through.  On the slightly flared bottom and at the very top, he punched little circles from the back.  Then he added more stamped designs including a waterbird like shape at the top.  On the back you will find his maker’s mark.  This slide measures approximately 3.25 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the bottom. One of a Kind. German silver scarf slides trace their history to 18th‑century Europe, where metalworkers developed nickel silver for bright, durable ornamentation. By the 19th century, the alloy appeared in jewelry, buckles, and small fittings, which helped establish its role in modern accessories. Scarf slides gained popularity in the early 20th century, especially in Scouting, because metal versions offered strength and easy engraving. As German silver moved through trade networks, Native American artisans adopted the alloy for regalia and created scarf slides, conchos, and pins with stamped cultural motifs. Today, German silver scarf slides blend European metallurgy with Indigenous artistry to produce functional pieces rooted in long craft traditions. Shop for more Accessories.
