Help Identify Makers mark on Silver Charm from Belgium

Hi all,

Can anyone help to identify the makers mark on this tiny silver charm. Even better if someone can ID the building / logo on the charm.

It is marked A835 which I understand means it's Belgian, and the makers mark must be the barrel but I can't ID it, an S inside a Lozenge shape?

I am hoping that knowing the maker will lead me to it's origin.

I think it dates from the 60's but this is an educated guess and might be wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sonya,

You need to embed your images as very few people will click on thumbnails.

Thanks Trev :-)

I have identified the charm, she is a Hostess from the 1958 Brussels Expo, in uniform with an Expo-star and an image of the Brussels city hall.

I am still unsure of the maker thou, hopefully someone will recognise the mark now it's not a dodgy thumbnail :-)
