Help with identifying London Sterling Silver Gilt Brooch - Maker?
Looking for help with identifying the maker of this beautiful silver gilt floral brooch?
I cant work out how to add a picture just at the moment?
Appears to be a Sunflower with a large centre, with 4 bees I suppose taking pollen from it
It is heavy - weighing 18.9g
1 5/8" in diameter
It is fully hallmarked - Lion Passant / Leopard Head - London / date letter lower case 's' in rectangle with cut away corners - same size as Leopard head
I think I have determined this is for 1992?
I am trying to find out the London Maker - the mark is VN inside a lozenge shape - I have looked at lists of marks, coming to no conclusion
Does up with a secure pin and roll-over clasp
Many thanks in advance

Hallmarked London Silver Gilt Brooch - Maker?
Further to my post earlier this afternoon
I am trying to find out the London maker - VN within lozenge - of this stunning heavy-weight silver gilt brooch
Sunflower with 4 bees
Weight: 15.9g
Diameter: 1 5/8"
Fully UK Hallmarked:
Lion Passant / Leopards Head / lower case 's'' within recatangle - blunt corners
I have checked on lists to no availl, and I have certainly taken the time to construct my post (thanks admin!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

yes, thanks - I had determined the lower case 's' was for 1992
Let's try a better image of the makers mark....
