[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10238345, member: 2844"]The bear's head mark was used 1922-1925, from August 1925 on that the horse's head was used. But you don't have to worry about the 1920s, because stylewise your pendant is post-WWII. The horse's head was used after 1946 as well. This is from an Austrian site, [URL='http://www.sondengaenger.at']www.sondengaenger.at[/URL]. The line at the top says: Official fineness marks 2.5.1922 [I](European sequence, so the 2nd of May) [/I]- 14.8.1939 and 25.7.1946 until now. Pferdekopf means horse's head: [ATTACH=full]512286[/ATTACH] As an aside, I got very confused when you called the mark a heart and added the drawing of a heart, because I never saw the shape of the mark as a heart. Because of the confusion I just left it at that, so it was a good thing [USER=80352]@bluejay[/USER] was able to see the mark for what it was.;)[/QUOTE]
