Overview
Arnold Good Luck (1964–) is a Navajo silversmith active since the 1980s, working in stamp work, shadowbox, and buckles. The Hougart corpus records his name as "Arnold Good luck" (lowercase 'l') — followed here for accuracy, displayed as Arnold Good Luck per standard proper noun convention. He is the son of Teddy Good Luck. His mark appears to be "AG," possibly inside a cloverleaf — the corpus entry is scan-degraded at that point.
