Hi all. I'm trying to determine what this pin is for. I found out the little thing on top is a n iron cross. It's a crown with a W and 1914 (presumably the date). I found it along with some old toys in the attic of a house we are restoring.
I have substantial experience with antique and Vintage jewelry. Based on the clasp construction and back marks (ges gesch. 800) I can tell you it's German, 800 silver and pre-1960 for sure.
Is this a war pin? Maybe a type of sweetheart memento?
