<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 9477144, member: 76316&quot;]It&#039;s 40mm wide, 33mm high; weight ~5 gm.</p><p>It&#039;s composed of 2 primary parts: an ornate wreath-like foundation, having an art-deco motif (I hope I&#039;m using that term correctly), onto which has been affixed a slightly oblique-view representation of Napoleon&#039;s arch. The material of both pieces is quite thin sheet brass, pressed an&#039; punched into a shallow 3D form, giving structure to the pieces; both appear to have been gold-washed or lightly plated. The manner of securing the pin (closure) may help determine its approximate age. I don&#039;t find any markings on it at all, an&#039; a Google image search returns nothing remotely similar.</p><p>I&#039;m leaning toward an origin in the last third of the 19C, but that&#039;s simply a WAG. Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]444099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]444100[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
