Hello, I have a silver and enamel brooch with the following marks on the back:

"925s" and "A.R."

I am presuming that it is from one of the Scandinavian countries but I have no idea of the markers mark, can anyone help me?

Thanks

Poe xx

925s indicates the purity of the silver in your piece (925 parts per 1000), which indicates that it is "sterling." Beyond that, two letters are not nearly enough information for a more precise identification. Can you post a photo?

PS Why do you think it is Scandanavian?
