This was my Grandfathers. The image, which i think is a girl in a kerchief, makes me think its Polish. It could be American or from anywhere else. It is sterling.
If you could help me thanks.

Hello Yisroel,
it is not Polish, it is from Czechoslovakia, 1922-1929 (Tardy page 399)
Also see here: http://www.925-1000.com/foreign_marks.html
It is not sterling (925), it has a fineness of 800.
Kind regards,
Ringo
