"Sweetheart" Locket

[Ralph A]

Have I posted this before? I'm particularly fond of it.

It's about the size of a US Quarter...

and it has a sturdy pin. It's very well made overall.

Is that a Württemberg "121" Infantry strap?

And what are those interesting little hallmarks? Can only make out the "800."

Might this be AUSTRIAN made, I wonder?

Hallmarks

"800" and a salamander. Your guess as to the strap is better than mine.

Hi Ralph,

I like these too. Here's a few I have. They don't have any marks on the back. If anyone is interested, I saw a seller on German ebay selling a period catalogue for these photo lockets. The catalogue had many styles. I found the one I have with the EK and wreath in there. If you'd like to see the seller's pics from ebay send me a PM (I didn't get the actual catalogue).

neat stuff!

Hi Ralph, Hi Tim.. nice little pieces. I've had quite a few trinket/sweetheart items flow through here over the years, but rarely as nice, or as personal as the pieces you've shown. Neat!
