<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wenna, post: 157806, member: 541&quot;]So I did one more google search with fewer key words (&#039;portugal filigree leaf pin -topazio&#039; instead of &#039;vintage filigree leaf pin sterling silver 925 portugal&#039;).&nbsp; As usual, less is more; I am slowly learning that.&nbsp; I found one pin with the exact same round hallmark plate on the back.&nbsp; This was on eBay and the seller did not attempt to identify maker.&nbsp; But it looks like the &#039;dots&#039; might actually be stars.&nbsp; I guess the actual maker is a moot point anyway.&nbsp; The other one was on RL and had the same style hinge. The hallmarks on that pin are actually on the pin stem and very tiny (as described by evelyb30...thanks!).&nbsp; She dates the pin possibly as early as 1920s based on the maker and pin assembly (although the clasp part may have been replaced).&nbsp; Thanks to everyone for your input!&nbsp; It&#039;s been fun researching this.&nbsp; When I first saw it I actually thought it was one of those electro-formed leafs, but then looked closer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
