A few things of interest for you to work with...
As you will be aware, J Godet & Sohn appear to have dropped the 'housejeweller' tag line in their advertising as early as 1922...Attached Files

They appear to have also shared that exact type of mini PLM with Gebr Godet... whether they shared dies, had leftover parts which went with both companies after the split or who got what is not known yet...

They then changed to a second J Godet & Sohn button, dropping the 'housejeweller' designation and ALSO changing the design of the mini PLM they were using.
Whether that was because Gebr got their old mini PLM dies as part of the settlement or not, is totally up for debate (but not in this thread please!!).
Whatever happened, by what appears to be the mid-late 20's, they were now using a different button AND a different product on their mini PLM's.

I don't have image posting rights, so a short description will have to do for the moment.
I have a small mini mounted on a dished copper button. The button has raised lettering circling around the rim: " * J. GODET & SOHN * BERLIN * " The button is 15 or 16 mm across with a depressed center, and four thread holes.
There are three ribbons on the front: on the top is crossed swords overtop of (1) EK ribbon, (2) a green/white Saxon ribbon, and (3) the ribbon for a Hindenburg. The spread on the ribbons is 20-21mms.
The style of button is the same as seen here, with the exception the stars on mine are asterisk ( * ) shaped, bit five pointed. The button on mine is copper, not painted zinc or some other metal.
