This is a wonderful little bar brooch or pin with a center shield
picture frame or a frame or a lock of hair. ( It would have to be a
very small picture.)
</P>
<P>The rococo work on the ends is exquisite. The are hallmarks on
the back rim. I do not know much about identification of hallmarks
but I do know that it is very old. It has a “C” clasp.
The pin bar may have been replace at some point since it is not the
same metal. I don't know if this item is sterling or not. I
could be that is is 800 silver or some other mix. I am not about
the polish off the ancient patina which contributes to the charm of
such an old piece.
</P>
<P>It measures 1 13/16th long.
</P>
<P>The condition is excellent other than having heavy patina.
