looks like a royal or princely gift-brooch (or pin).

it was common before 1914 that sovereigns and/or members of the royal families scattered this 'goodies' (pins, brooches, watches, decorative pics etc.) under their subjects.

quality and used material depended on the social position of the recipient.

i don't know from which country the pin shown comes, but the crown looks scandinavic to me.

Danke nach Wien :-))

es soll aus dem Nachlass eines beannten Dichter aus Weimer sein
und es soll sich für das F - Friedrich des Großen handeln

ob das so stimmt,weis ich natürlich nicht

aber,wiehoch könnte man in etwa den Wert sehen ???

Hallo Chris,
IMHO the mark 585 indicates at least a post-1918 production.

Value: if you aren't able to ID the pin it stays a ordinary golden pin. if i would be intersted i wouldn't pay more than 50 to 70 euro for such a piece. are the diamonds real or paste (strass)?
