    This is my thrift store find of this week. A large silver brooch with the text Concordia res. parvae crescunt (unity makes strength).
    In Dutch "Eendracht maakt macht".

    The diameter is 7 cm. and it's marked with the old Dutch sword. I've tried to find more on the net. All I could find is that is probably a "broekstuk" a large button that was used to close pants.

      Looks like an old Dutch military brooch.

      X waki insert ( schoonhoven , middleburg boonstoppels, bible belt , no forward slashing B , why numerals) later

      well it is well free mason adagium (Loge concerning social responsebility and the belated reaction from the Loge onthe first civilazation offense( eerste beschavings
      offensief

      personnaly i think this is typical Walcheren( maybe an order from L,astra de Lorient , La Compagnie Durable , Scaldis ( i don,t know i don,t)

      I ran Urk ,Bodegraven etc and all the redneks biblebelts hamlets this is the most likely

      How are we committed not extremelijk early otherwise the earlier LION mark commits it, but we are Sword committed, and which type of sort committed, the 1906-1953 period

      Hard to say how we are further committed because theories diverges
      you got single letter marks , marks with numeral combinations etc

      experts quarell about the numerals ( inferior , reminting etc ( i don,t give a F,,,,) i think the the numeral two is the certification for at least o,833 silver !
      is

      The letter B is quite strange , because you ought to have a stiff back B or a forbending B

      IMO they try to represent a Broekstuk ( not a brooch !) 1911 maybe a Schoonhoven emmission

      i might be wrong , because i am not expert , but it is all about the quality , and it looks ok


      i SAY IT AGAIN I AM NOT AN EXPERT !!!
