navajo rug and carpet textiles circa1920?

have a navajo blanket.. Had someone say there is a difference between a 1st chief or 2nd chief rug, Question being how can one tell if it was 1920 or 1940 blanket. The only thing I think I have read was that a 1920s era was wove with three strand cotton , and the later made ones were a 4 strand cotton. Anyone have any clues how to determine the age of this blanket. 100% sure it was navajo woven and also know it was made between 1920 and 1940. Also anyone know a legit appraiser? The only one we found was aslo a potential buyer so I didn't have him appraise them as it seemed a conflict of interest. All info is greatly appreciated. 10 points to best help
pardon me I meant wool,, blannkey has been touched only once in the last 60 years
the blankets were given to my girlfriends grandmother she was a nurse and worked on an arizona indian reservation from 1920 to almost 1938 in Arizona and recieved some of the weavings as payment and gratuities

Really enjoyed your question. I have a blanket that my Grandparents gave to my Father. before he married my Mother. He passed away in 1994 at the age of 87. (so now you know about how old I am----old). I didn't know all the stuff you were talking about in your question. I do know it was made in the 20's, and is in perfect condition. I wish you luck in finding out more about it. You definitely have put me on a search. Thanks
