Unknown marks on brooch, N. F. + lion in shield hallmark

[Dandelion]

Been looking around awhile but can't find anything about N. F. or the mark with the lion in shield.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi Dandelion,

Welcome to the Forum.

It's Norwegian, Norsk Filigransfabrik of Kristiania.

Thank Trev!

This confirms my thoughts, considering that the lion hallmark resembles the national emblem of Norway. Plus the enamel and filigree work feels very Norwegian. :)

Again thanks!
