    This is a hatpin as I have not seen before. I think it is of French origin (Limoges)made of Vermeil and there is an enameled profile of a women's head.
    There are two labels which I think it's a dog of boar head to the left, but it is so small that it is very difficult to see (see photo 4).
    The pin has a total of about 7 cm long and the head is 2.2 cm in diameter.

      The hallmark on pic 2 is the boar's head, silver, Paris 1838/1962. Can't read the other one.
      Unusual piece with this irregular shape and textured area!

      Very interesting piece, lovely in fact but it is a stick or lapel pin rather than a hatpin.

      Hatpinholly, thanks for your comment. And you're right, but this is due to the fact that English is not my native language.
