awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 06:30 am I got this in an auction lot, it came with a silver locket, an old working silver compass fob, a silver mounted old penny and some other nice little pieces. I cannot i.d. the man on it or even begin to verify the age. On the side it has an eagle, the man has a high collar. The back of this pendant/commemorative coin/medal is pushed inwards(not flat)and I'm inclined to think it's brass. Again any help would be appreciated. Kind Regards Alexander.

With that hanger I'm guessing it was meant to be worn as a decorative piece? Edited by mackwork 02/12/2014 11:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 1:19 pm Yeah I think it was definitely a pendant, but I've never seen anything like it myself. I even took to an antique appraisers who didn't recognise it, he just said what I thought about it maybe being Autro-Prussian. Very interesting indeed. Report this Post to the Staff

awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/04/2014 3:47 pm Yeah you're totally correct, what an odd piece to end up with . Sorry for late reply, tried to email you-but I'm not allowed :(. The compass is definitely the crown piece of this lot. What an oddity. Thank-you very much. Report this Post to the Staff
