Fillegree brooch. Need help to ID country, age, maker.

Postby vasyapupkin0 » Wed Oct 08, 2008 3:47 pm

I have a question for you, experts. I can't precisely identify the origin and date range of this pin/brooch. Possibly Norwegian. Stamped "830" then "S" followed by a ")0("-looking symbol (it may also resemble a left-facing crescent moon and a right-facing crescent moon joined together by an vertical oval; or it may appear as a butterfly-like symbol).

Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

well it's definatley Norwegian - it's a "solje" which is part of Norwegian traditional dress.

Thanks so much for confirming! I'll be listing another odd silver marked piece in the European Silver, Other Countries section.
