This is for all you "experts" out there. I have had this a long time, always thought it was a brooch until I had a really good look at it today. Its not a pin on the back but a rod attached like it could be a belt buckle, but it wouldn't work for a belt? Maybe a scarf pin?. Brass with nice patina and beautiful carvings. There is a mark on the pin shaft..very blurred..looks like T..DMI?..may Trifari?..guessing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking..blingiton1948
Why "experts" in parenthesis? Sarcasm?
It is 1/2 of a belt buckle, definitely not Trifari
Thank you Stillwater - no sarcasm..I am not an expert on this stuff. Some of you may be thats why we have this venue..thanks again blingiton1948
Yes, half of a brass buckle and looks to be handmade, may be as old as 1910.
It was cast and then engraved by hand
