Apologies for the unprofessional photos, I wasn’t expecting to share the before ones. [ATTACH=full]477994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477995[/ATTACH] Anyway, out of the ugly duckling a swan emerged!

I’ve tested it and the very bottom by the vent hole it tests as silver and you can see the solder lines on either side, the rest tests as 9ct so I’m presuming vermeil? The blob on the back looks like a BC and I’ve had zero luck trying to find the maker. I’ve seen this shape described as Gothic and Orthodox, is that correct? I found one on line which is very similar but they say 9ct but I suspect that may be wishful thinking. Would this be late 19th C? It’s c2” long and came with the chain which isn’t gold or silver but looks to have a pretty old spring ring. Any thoughts please :) Thankyou[/QUOTE]
