I bought this nice micro mosaic dagger brooch a while ago. I think it dates from around 1900, as the tesserae are very tiny. I included some of my micro mosaic jewelry from around the same period on the last picture. The dagger is marked with something which looks like: FAF on its back. Any idea about iwhat that means? I m sure its made in Italy as most micro mosaic was made there.

OOOH, love the dagger!!! F A F must be the maker, of course, you're right for Italian :-)
Very nice dagger. It's isn't FAF but F.A.P. the Italian factory made this kind of mosaic in the late 19th first half 20th century.
Agram, thank you very much, you solved my mystery! :-)
And thanks to Kyratango,fortapache, antiquerose, valentino, racer4four,manikin, afram, vetraio and aghcollect for the love!
