Title: Artefact Post by: Mungo on November 07, 2012, 03:07:41 PM any ideas on this please ? 35 x 15 mm , looks silver , thanks........ 8)
Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Neil on November 07, 2012, 03:10:20 PM Thats an interesting one - the holes look like they are there to be sewn onto something. With the receiving hoop - I would take a guess at being the receiving end of a hooked Tudor tag. Certainly looks to be silver.
Hope that helps Neil Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Val Beechey on November 07, 2012, 03:34:58 PM What a lovelly little find, well done that man. ;D

Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on November 07, 2012, 05:38:04 PM Dont think its factory made, are they tooling marks on the back ?

Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Val Beechey on November 07, 2012, 06:15:26 PM I can see what Neil is thinking and it is a temptin isea but what is that little attachement on the back of the ring for ??
Could it have been a pin attachment ?? Val Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Dale on November 07, 2012, 07:22:09 PM It may be a silver pilgrims badge? iv seen them simliar but not sure on the loop, nice if it was :)

Title: Re: Artefact Post by: shunggav on November 07, 2012, 09:16:59 PM Looks nice what ever it is but dose look like a brooch
Title: Re: Artefact Post by: Val Beechey on November 07, 2012, 10:10:14 PM It could have been a brooch and a pendant combined. Popular, I believe, late 1800's onwards. But don't quote me.
