*MEASUREMENTS: 1 11/16" long x 7/16" wide
*MARKS: STERLING and GERMANY stamped on the back side on metal the area between the stones - very small stamp on the side edge - a Czechoslovakian import mark on a flour-de-lis with a C above it in an iron shaped stamp - see pics.
*WEIGHT: 4.5 grams on my scale
*CONDITION: Great vintage condition - no damage to mention and the pin back is is good working order. Very small ripple or wave to the pin back- see last pic. Stones are entirely free from chips, nicks, cracks, etc - pristine condition for the age!
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.
