    Hello, everyone.
    I recently found this brooch and had to have it because I hadnt seen anything like it.
    It appears to be silver but is unmarked, and it seems old because of the pin and clasp.
    Its a Halberd with a St George and the dragon medallion hanging below it. I think the silver of the halberd is hollow because it is fairly light and a little bent.
    If anyone can tell me anything about it I would be grateful! 20220827_105816.jpg 20220827_105807.jpg 20220827_105755.jpg

    Это выглядит как??? Миниатюрные награды за фрак. Награды можно было купить отдельно.[​IMG] Screenshot_20220827-160346~2.png

    It could be something similar, although Harlequincat's medallion has Latin script, so not Russian.
    @Harlequincat , could you post a closeup of the medallion so we can read what comes after St Georgius?

    The hinge-clasp combination is late 19th century.

    Probably a miniature copy of this medal.

    The OP's pin is a Halberd, if that helps any. That's the weapon design. Some gamer or fantasy fan out there would be all over it.

    Here is a closer up of the medallion.
    Does look like the design used in the George the Victorious medal @Aznathalie but a more crude version

    Oh that's interesting, thank you @Hollyblue. I don't know why I didn't realise this when looking at it more closely
