Sorry this took so long to get back to you-I dropped my loupe and broke it, so am waiting for a new one to arrive so I can take another look at the maker's mark.Sphene|1445075365|3939184 said:Is the C more like a half moon under the V and is it in an hexagonal box
or does it look like the V may have once been an M but the side legs are warn away
Thank you!FancyIntense|1445151631|3939485 said:Great looking pin. They look really nice on winter coats.
Thank you-I had been using Lang's info and searched through so many maker's marks and came up empty handed so far-but will keep searchingVRBeauty|1445195389|3939631 said:Another research tool via Lang's Antiques: http://www.langantiques.com/univers..._Marks&filefrom=Shreve2.jpg#mw-category-media

Thank you-the borders are set with sapphires and emeralds.DiaGem|1444380981|3936555 said:stepcutnut|1444272588|3936095 said:The pin in question!
I don't think it would survive bangling it, a long pendant maybe.
Beautiful pin, are the borders set with sapphires and emeralds or enamel?
Btw, pins are making a comeback IMO but reconstructing new wearable art is always exiting and allowable..., no?
Enjoy it, it's beatifull.
