I didn't think of that... :facepalm: It's an E mark. I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow. It's L. CHR. LAUER NÜRNBERG. Do you think there...
I bought this British sterling silver brooch. It looks like a coat of arms to me, and with the engraving on the back, I was wondering if it might...
At first glance, I thought it was the Hebrew alphabet, but I don't think it is. Maybe it was part of a sign that didn't show up well in...
