Thanks Joe, it'a all down to pure fanaticism & insanity
Here's a brooch for Frauen & Töchter. It doesn't really belong here I suppose but what the heck...
These came in four types, two silver "hellsilberfarben" & "altsilberfarben" & two gold "hellgoldfarben" & "altgoldfarben". Basically brightly polished or aged, this is the "altgoldfarben" or old gold version.
Cheers
Don
