I have tried to research this starburst brooch and have received conflicting opinions on this hallmark. The general consensus seems to be that it’s an old European hallmark for 900 silver, but I’ve also had someone say that it’s the model number for a vintage brooch dating back to the 1940s. So trying my luck at seeking some opinions here, thanks for anyone that can help!
Would like to know if this brooch is an antique Victorian starburst brooch or just a vintage Victorian revival/imitation brooch, as I’m no expert in differentiating. Bought from an auction house in the UK as part of a lot of vintage and antique jewellery and watches. Has a ‘900’ stamp on the back, and so far researching this seems to point to it having European origins, likely Germany, and being a high silver content metal. Interested in knowing more about its age and origins, and hoping this reaches some people with better expertise than me. Thanks for anyone’s help!
