    Did you see charms like yours? I was wondering if they were original?

    It's hard to tell from the image that it is sterling - the back looks suitably old (clasp). I wondered if it was alpaca, but it is marked.

    I found this wonderful pin with what looked like similar style animals and metal on ebay (missing the charms) . It's listed as "Peruvian silver," which is another way of saying alpaca (or German silver). Probably you already know all that

    In another light, it looks like this

    Much different. A number of these are listed as mid-century.

    Gorgeous tupu. My mother had a tupu collection including one like this. We sold them, I only have two silver ones now, including a little one my uncle from Bolivia gave me.
    Many tupu are base metal, but yours is silver with coral(?), and extra special with that lion, wonderful!
