[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 822178, member: 2844"]It looks like a ca 1930-50 copy of an Austro-Hungarian Renaissance Revival piece. The copies were generally made in Southern Germany, although never with the usual gilding and/or enamel or stones the originals would have. They often have those 'worn' faces. The back of yours indicates a late example, and not by Blachian, the most famous maker. Love the chain. They are collectors item in their own right now, although never as valuable as the real deal. This is one of my 1930s copies, st George and the dragon by Blachian, also 'just' silver and a worn face: [ATTACH=full]192785[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
