Mistery sings on silver brosh

[sladjanasm71]

Hello, friends.
I hope that you can help me to solve one mistery. The brosh is old and silver, with two stones, like smaragd. But I have a problem with finding out where it comes from and how old it is.

There are three signs, one of them is on the pin. It is something like a bird in the square, or upside down like the letter S in the square. The other one is like OO or CO following with something like a picture of a tail. And the third one (on the pin) is eather MCTAIL or some year in roman numbers.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hello!
Are you sure, it's silver? I read metall in the pin, and it's a little bit suspicious for me.
BEst regards!

Well, could be "OOK" just "800"?
Crystals looks like glass.

[sladjanasm71]

Yes, I think it could be 800...

I thouth about that too, but its checked. In most of the languages we write "METAL" with one L and I think that the Germans write with two L, not sure.
Also I think, the second letter is not E but C.

Anyway, if you have any more thoughts I would like to hear them. Even if a pin is metal, I would like to find out where and when the brosh was made.

Hi,
This is an impossible mission with partially struck what appears to be maker`s mark.
As already mentioned ``metal`` is spelled with two ``L`` in German.
It was common practice with composite items made of silver and non precious metals to be marked appropriately.
Stones look well set, the brooch can be easily checked if silver (.800).
That`s it.
Regards

Thank you so much, AG2012...

I wonder if you just know up to when "It was common practice with composite items made of silver and non precious metals to be marked appropriately".

I'll leave this issue now, but I hope it stays here, because maybe someone has simular brosh.

Hi,
Late 19th or 20 century with metal needles. Earlier jewelry I have was made entirely of gold and silver. My experience.
