[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 535890, member: 2844"]As I said, probably German, based on the mark. What look like oak leaves are supposed to be honorary palm leaves, for the guild king.;) The lobes of oak leaves are more rounded. The crown is pretty generic for most regions where they have these guilds. The crown had nothing to do with the king or emperor of the nation the guild was in, but the king or emperor of the guild itself. These are some Dutch examples of single marksmen guild shields with similar guild crowns: [IMG]http://www.gildebesoijen.nl/historie_bestanden/image018.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huisseling.nl%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fschild-2.jpg&sp=3fddf81bb4fdca895e22075d78086fb7[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.gildebesoijen.nl/historie_bestanden/image016.jpg[/IMG] As you can see, Dutch shields are more like the usual shield shape. The elongated shape on Nino's chain looks more German to me as well, with a hint of Jugendstil in the shape and the little curl at the bottom.[/QUOTE]
