Looking to get this repaired

Was wondering about how much it would run me to get a new bale put on this?
I believe it’s copper

 

I think the only person who can tell you that is the jeweler who will do the repair. They will hold it n their hands, see any issues, etc.

 

Thank you, my aunt bought this years ago in the orient and has always been one of my favorite pieces

 

Don’t know, I’ve just loved this ever since I can remember, I was born the year of the dragon

 

I looked for markings on it to tell me who made it but there are none

 

Nice pendant, Rob. The whiskers look more silvery, is it mixed metals? Japanese maybe?

 

My aunt was over there back in the 50’s so could be?

 

The Japanese often use several metals in one item, so I guess Japan would be its origin.

 

@Rob Bewig , reminds me of the Military Order of the Dragon medals from the turn of the Century Spanish American War / Boxer rebellion .
