Thank you Cheryl. Yes, the center is guilloche. The pin looks so unusual (to me) for a David-Andersen that I had doubts about the hallmark, It was not identified as such and I bought it based on the maker's mark, thinking it had to be D-A's, but it was hard to see. Mireille
The maker's mark on this Norwegian pin looks a lot like the older David-Andersen mark but it is not exactly the trident shown on the website. Is this a variation of it, or is this pin by someone else? If so, by whom? Thank you in advance for your help. The link below will take you to a larger versio...

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES! Upon reflection, I realized that I had not tried to unscrew it! And of course it does. I can't tell you how dumb I feel.... It is marked sterling inside, no hallmark. So I guess it is a perfume locket after all? Thank you all.
No, it does not unscrew. When I received it, one of the sides with the holes had been slightly knocked in. I could see that there was no thread. The side with the holes is smooth, and its edge looks just like the edge that you see for the back. The side with the holes fits in the back by approx. 1 mm.
P.S. my camera won't let me get closer. I immersed the piece in water to see whether it would weigh more afterwards as a test to see if there is anything absorbent inside. It didn't weigh any more than before. Here is a link to see a bigger picture: http://tinypic.com/r/ilxapl/6

The reverse is also enameled, but without the flowers, just plain white. It tests for sterling silver, but there are no marks. It is 5/8 i...
I am uncertain as to the use for this piece. It does not open although it is made of 2 pieces, it has no hinges, and I can't see anything inside through the holes. Any help in identifying the use of this item would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
http://i46.tinypic.com/349cj8g.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2iupcac.jpg Don't know whether I am in the correct country. This hallmark has similarities with Martin Mayer but I am not sure that this is the right identification of the maker. Any help would be appreciated. Link to bigger hallmark picture...
Tosten, thank you so much - I am very happy that it is by Finn Jensen. Does the use of the initials indicate a certain period or was it concurrent with the triangular version?
http://i46.tinypic.com/9fnlon.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/34et7j7.jpg Did Finn Jensen ever sign his work with the actual initials FJ as on this pin, or is it another maker? If so, who? Thank you for your help. Link to bigger pic of the back: http://tinypic.com/r/wgp8o2/6" onclick="window.open(this.h...
It is a c-clasp. There is a guilloche pattern but it is so minute that I was unable to capture it in the photos, yet it is a rather large pin 4.7 cm (1.85") diameter. Thank you to all for your interest.
Thank you. I see on the list of Danish hallmarks that there are 3 Hans Jensens listed, 1 in Copenhagen 1899-1937, 2 in Aarhus (1937-1957 and 1957-1970). To which one or to which period do you thinks this pin belongs?
