Hello.

My guess would be Hans Jensen.

Thank you. I see on the list of Danish hallmarks that there are 3 Hans Jensens listed, 1 in Copenhagen 1899-1937, 2 in Aarhus (1937-1957 and 1957-1970). To which one or to which period do you thinks this pin belongs?

You're welcome.

I don't have much information on the firm of Hans Jensen.
Believe they were in Aarhus, Denmark for most of the 20th century.
You're mark looks like late 20th century to me.

Pat.

I can't tell from the picture, but does the brooch have a simple c-clasp or a roll-over safety clasp? A c-clasp would tend to indicate an older piece. Also, is there a guilloche pattern under the enamel? I would have thought that a piece with that kind of image would be older than late 1900s (just speculating, though).

It is a c-clasp. There is a guilloche pattern but it is so minute that I was unable to capture it in the photos, yet it is a rather large pin 4.7 cm (1.85") diameter. Thank you to all for your interest.
