[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9862065, member: 2844"]The[I] ZII [/I]mark was introduced in 1953, it means an .835 silver item is imported or, very rarely, a re-assayed antique. The 835 stamp is not Dutch, so that means it was imported some time after 1953. The Netherlands imported a lot of newly made German jewellery, and it is very likely that it was new when punched with the [I]ZII [/I]mark. Imo it is by a German maker, probably Franz Scheuerle, a good name. Scheuerle began to use 925 fineness ca 1980, so my guess is that your pin was made before 1980. So your timeframe is 1953-1980.[/QUOTE]
