[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8790110, member: 2844"]:happy: Maybe not be the type you wanted, but you'll get that one too, there are bound to be more in Belgium. But the one you have now is a Fumsup, without a doubt. I have a silver Fumsup with wooden head, a classic type. It is on a charm necklace I got from my grandmother. Since she lived in neutral Netherlands during WWI, it can't have anything to do with what happened here, the only war involvement was welcoming refugees. But I suspect it has to do with her Belgian relatives, one of whom was a POW at the time. He came home safe and sound, so if it was for him, it may have done a good job.:) Unfortunately he was also a POW during WWII for Resisitance work.:( But he survived, and lived to a ripe old age.[/QUOTE]
