    Kinda look like a Pforzheim jugendstil piece:)
    I don't know the maker's mark, it seems a crossed axe and spear:peeking::cyclops:

    German would be clearly marked with crown and crescent IMO.

    Not always. There are many German pieces without the 'proper' marks.
    It has a Nordic feel to me, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, possibly northern Germany. The crossed mark could be Swedish.

    I keep thinking of the triangular mark, it looks so familiar. Brain fog.:banghead:

    Kyra - have you read Fritz Falk's 'Art Nouveau Jewellery from Pforzheim' (2009)? I have a copy, but it's packed away - it has several maker's marks, along with interesting text and lovely pics (including insects), but can't remember if this maker is among them.

    Sorry, don't know the maker of your butterfly brooch...

    I must say I still feel a bit insecure.
    they were wholesalers for gem settings and watches; and I don't see any item in the publicities that would fit stylewise.
    furthermore the axe looks like a halbard and the spear has a little flag.
    the axe reminds me rather of the one on the Norwegian crest.
