[QUOTE="Eils14, post: 9581247, member: 14776"]Hi everyone, I picked these items up in a job lot and as I do not know too much about tie pins I thought I would share them here and see if anyone knew more about their age, material and as a couple of them have a mark on them, what they might be for. I am also wondering if the one with the gold pin and pearl is possibly made from real gold? It has a mark on it but I don't know what it represents.
