Another flea market find. A silver brooch which
I believe is a Russian brooch. It's marked: p star 875.
The mark under her skirt isn't readable.
I do not know how old this brooch is.
Paid € 2,50 (US$ 2,64) for it.

A lovely brooch! Clean up that mark under her skirt with a bit of silver polish and a Q-Tip. From what I can see of it, it looks like "RJ1".
It's from the Soviet Era and originated in one of the Republics on the Western side of the Union; I'll look up the exact location (the letter P) when I get a chance. The mark under the skirt is probably a manufacturer's mark.
Could be Latvian but this is just a sense; a good reference book should have the exact ID.
Val - I think it's somewhere in-between those dates. :-))))) Maybe davyd286 will be able to find the marks.
1970s imho.
Not Russian. Made in Riga, Latvia’s capital, after 1957. Soviet Union, though.
Many thanks Efesgirl, davyd286, valentino97 and IVAN49.
Nice to know the origin and age of this brooch.
Ivan49, thank you for confirming.
Like a pair of whirling dirvishes having big fun, beautiful !!~
