[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 7434031, member: 76316"]These pics are all I can manage with flash, and the last one is poor. Tomorrow, in the sunshine, I will do better on the close-up of the mark. But I don't own this pin, and must return it to the jeweler later in the day...so really wanted to share it tonight before I hit the sack. The mark has 2 parts: above is a shield having crenellations...3 merlons & 2 crenels. Within that shield is the letter T, with serifs...below is 925, with the additional letter S at the end. The jeweler is pretty sharp...but could not make the mark, at all. He cautioned me not to fall in love with this pin, until the maker could be determined with certainty. Upon that occurrence, he would assign a price for my purchase or rejection. Please help me with this puzzle...I have already fallen, hard, in love with the bird...it'll be a birthday present for my Sweet Hilde, in August...if I can afford his price. Again, better pics will be posted here on the morrow. Thanks, y'all! [ATTACH=full]422692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]422694[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
