I'm still not able to identified the markings and I have no comments from any-one. They could be from another country. If any-one is an expert in jewelry markings. I would like any-type of information. Thank you
Dear Mac,
I saw your pin and the hallmarks. One I know namely 925 that
is the Dutch hallmark for Sterling Silver. I suppose the D is from the maker but I don't know from which this is. Further I cannot tell you more. Hopely this is something. Succes !
Thank you for taken the time to write. I will check the Dutch hallmarks. Again thank you. mac
Dear: Agram.m. I have checked the Sterling Dutch hallmarks and they have a "D" but inside a circle not a square cartouche, also this dutch hallmark only identifies the years this hallmark was use from 1910 to 1915. I have register with the Antique row-show to win some tickets for the event. If we are the winners I will take the pin with me. Maybe they can identified the maker. In the meantime if some-one out-there has any info, I will greatly appreciated.
