Vintage Brooch And Tie Tack
Approximately 3" & 5"
Normally Jenni is posting all the cool brooches, but today I have a few! The rifle is a tie tack. And the sword is the brooch. As a collector I usually do not remove patina..but in this case it was hiding the details. This sword is very thick(added image to show it's almost 1/8" thick) and has some crude soldering on the back. I've never seen one like this. We bought a large jewelry/misc lot and a few pieces went straight to the private pile..at least for the moment.
Fabulous rifle & sword set, they are definitely super cool
(and thanks for the shout Dave but you always post great stuff!)
Awesome!! These are the first sword and rifle brooch and tie tack I've ever seen!! Pretty cool find Dave!!
Jenni - Thanks I always admire your brooch collections.
Scott - Well..you need to go back in time and see my battle ax and bat brooch pins..

dav2no1, Cool. :-)
That sword looks like a scimitar.
