German tourist bracelet date

Original question was how old. If the Westfalen plaque puts it sometime before 1946, & conditions in Europe for a stretch of time immediately before that made tourism unlikely, we pretty much have a terminus ante quem. It's well made, but less so than I would expect for the 20s or earlier. I find the clasp as interesting as anything about it. Have never seen another quite like it.

I said 'glued in' but maybe plaques sort of snapped into the frames:



It's a clever system. (An enterprising German manufacturer might have marketed them in neighboring countries as well.) Unless someone can make a case for significantly older or newer, not sure we'll be able to say much more about it. Now watch INH come up with one just like it and the maker's name.

 

Think seller is probably right about this one being 1950s.

My gut feeling based on nothing at all is war time bought by a patriotic soldier or supporter.(did men wear jewellery then?)
Thankyou all for your time you have put into this, really appreciate following the thought processes you share

 

Those shield are certainly 60s and later, I've a few of them.

The manufacturing method of this rather reminds me of a necklace I posted here a few months back.

 

She will.

 

How long is it?

 

Just over 19cm.

 

7.5 inches is the standard length for a woman's bracelet that is not custom sized.

 

So S.Vallely is female. Ever thought of being a detective

 

There is an S[uzanne]. Valelly who has an Instagram account. She either is one or hangs out with gymnasts. Maybe you could sell it to her.

it's as correct as a hole in one's head. Interlaken is Switzerland; you know - the other ones with another cross...the one that is on the tatüüütataaa...

 

If it’s the same style and similarly linked it could still help

 

to date, my most successful foray into searching in German is: Schild Panel Armband wappen

But in this case, "most successful" is almost the same as, "I've got nothing."

 

Inh, you are doing your best, which is the best of the entire forum, and greatly appreciated.
