[QUOTE="alangnw, post: 543126, member: 10195"]Thanks for all the comments. In answer to the questions. The items belonged originally to a friend of my late uncle via my mother. No links I know with the Austro-Hungarian empire - however these were alongside a number of items from the WW1 period (at least) and some other items - including various religious items/talismans which I assume were carried through the war (along with the pentacle medallion which I am confident is from the same period rather than a modern 'new age' novelty). The pin is 5cm long, and the decorated piece is just over 3cm. [IMG]https://www.alangandy.photography/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pin3.jpg[/IMG] Apologies fur the blur... The amethyst looking gem at the centre has a slight chip. And knowing what little I do about the past of the person they came from I suspect there is a possibility the green stones may be real Emeralds.
