The patina on this is so heavy that at first I thought it was pewter but then noticed a faint 830S mark so realized it was silver. Besides the Vikinger Opdager American mark you see on the back photo it is also marked 830S S.L N.M. I tried to photograph this additional mark but could not get a clear pic Could any of you kind people tell me the who this maker might be? Your help is appreciated IP: Logged

Thanks for the postings (on both threads) The markings on this are "Viking Opdager Amerika" - perhaps this is the title of the scene represented ??? Then in much impressed mark it reads 830S S.L. N.M. I put the dots and spaces exactly as it reads. Am I right in the assumption that this is danish rather than norwegian? Thank you - You have been very kind Dusty IP: Logged
sazikov2000 Posts: 254 Registered: Jan 2005	posted 02-07-2005 03:58 PM The brooch is Danish. S. L. is SVEND AAGE MARIUS LARSEN, Slagelse 1937 - 1957 N. M. is NICOLAI SÖREN MUNCK, Copenhagen 1937 - 1947 The motto: The vikings discover America. The needletyp is typical for this period. Hope this helps. Sazikov2000 IP: Logged
