    Hello again
    I have this brooch marked "Made in France" and two small marks. One in diamond shape says FB or EB. The other mark I can't identify. The brooch says on front "MWA".
    Any information will be very helpful.

    They are a mark for smaller pieces of silver.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    I honestly didn't see the boar's head until enlarged and @Houseful mentioned it!!
