    Hello everyone, just looking for an opinion as to whether this is an Austro-Hungarian brooch? 19th century? The hallmarks are difficult to read (one looks like "EB" or "ER" or "EK"). Seems to be in silver gilt with some traces of enamelling. Many thanks.

    A wonderful Hungarian style brooch. Either Austro-Hungarian period or early independent Hungary. Given the hinge and long pin I would say 1880s or so, Austro-Hungarian period.
    The marks are blurry, but I think one of them is the lion mark with a 4, for .750 silver. The lion mark was used 1866-1937.
