<p>[QUOTE="George Chaney, post: 4460958, member: 19137"][USER=19343]@Pattywithay[/USER] any chance you can upload a higher resolution of the back and front, it might help. Also, did you check the sides for tiny touch marks? It looks to be a cast, the best I can tell from the images (i can't tell if this might be replacements), the pin and clasp mechanism don't suggest age of significance (antique), the enameling work on this looks to be very amateur with bleed over to the back. The fact it is testing silver and is unmarked, with all the other details that I am seeing, says to me this is the work of a student learning the craft. An "artisan" in training piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
