[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 537122, member: 2844"]The value of your chain is mainly in the silver and the crafstmanship. It is not antique, so maybe not of interest to collectors, but it is well made. Here in the Netherlands there are collectors of Dutch pieces specifically, with older and rarer pieces being more valuable. Some guild members will pay good money for antique chains and shields related to their guilds. I have sold a few antique shields in the past, they always sold within ca two weeks after listing them. I suspect the interest will be similar in Germany. The chain is not antique, so think of it as a good, well-made piece of silver, not as an antique collectable. But since there is no inscription it could still be used. Maybe a German 'Schützenverein' or a German-American 'Schuetzenverein' will want to buy it either for their own use or for a collection. If you were to buy it, you could list it on ebay for example, with the option of selling internationally.[/QUOTE]
