[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 686659, member: 2844"]The signature is simply [I]delft[/I]. Much of this Delfts jewellery has that mark, but I don't know the manufacturer. My guess is that it is by a Dutch company outside the town of Delft. It is an older brooch, probably .835 silver, which was the usual Dutch silver fineness in those days. .800 silver was legally accepted because of imports from Indonesia, but Dutch makers rarely used it.
