Hello. I need help with the following Danzig badge / brooch which I've just acquired. It measures 37mm x 25mm and is made of 800 silver. It is also stamped "Ges.Geschützt".
I haven't found it neither in the books nor on the Internet.

Regards, Matthias

Don't have a single clue, but it was really really nice!! Love the blue enamel.

Can you read the writing on the ribbon at the bottom. This pin ..might not be what you think...might be elbing or today elblag polands crest. Im sure if you can read the writing, andthen google it, it may prove to be valueable in your quest. http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_b1884_2.html

There is no chance to read the writing on it. It had been worn off too much. But I believe it to be "Danzig" related as I've bougt it together with a "Danzig" tally. Also the Elbings coat of arms doesn't have the two lions.
Anyway, thanks for that great link.

It is nice anyway whatever it is. I hope someone knows.

nice piece

the writing most likely says "nec temere nec timide" as it is a part of Gdansk's coat of arms. Nice piece you have there. Can you make out the makers mark on the verso?
cheers

I agree with Matt: nec temere nec timide", part of the coat of arms of Danzig:

Thanks, Matt. I will show better pictures of the makers mark but that will take some days.

I have introduced the brooch at the Danzig-Forum which is a forum just for Danzig related things. They have a specialist for medals and jewelry who has identified it as a non-military but 100% Danzig brooch made of 800 silver. Maker is the famous jeweler "Moritz Stumpf und Sohn".

It looks beautiful and judging the way it is made indeed period?

Some kind of female brooch for a Danzig woman.

The expert you mentioned- did he ever explain why a brooch supposedly made by Moritz Stumpf would be stamped with Carl Wild maker's mark?

Made by one, retailed by the other?

Methinks the fellow just blindly guessed. But I stand to be corrected.

Nice

Nice, but in my opinion it looks like
a female decorative brooch.
