<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2417959, member: 2844&quot;]I love this Dutch Biedermeier brooch. It couldn&#039;t be more Dutch if it tried.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It has the 1814-1905 sword mark for .833 silver and is set with a giant moonstone. I thought it looked like chalcedony, but the seller said moonstone and he was right, it tests like moonstone.</p><p>The safety chain is a later addition, it is marked with a weight mark introduced in 1906.</p><p>The brooch measures 6.1cm x 4.1cm, 2 13/32&quot; x 1 39/64&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is about the maker&#039;s mark.</p><p>It is a 2 letter 2 digit mark, which is usual for a 19th century Dutch maker&#039;s mark. However, I can&#039;t read it very well, and I can&#039;t find a mark that resembles what I see. What I read is VC.7(?). I can&#039;t find it, I have looked at other V marks as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>So please, all you silver mavens and wonderful searchers, can you help me?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for looking.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]263770[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]263771[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]263772[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
