I always had a soft spot for miniatures and here is two of my favorite lapel buttons. On these two beauty's it's the reverse which I find most interesting. Enjoy !!! Kjell [attachmentid=45025]

Hi Robert Thanks for correcting me, was a little hasty in posting. I wived the posting on a small laptop and did not see the details. My mistake, sorry!! Kjell

Hi Nice KC !!!, but it don't look like a S&L to me, more like a Zimmerman / Godet. Do you have any pictures of the reverse? Any markings? Kjell

Hello DavidM Thanks for your reply and opinion! Have added a new picture from another angel. I'm quit sure this is enamel but it's difficult to show this in a picture. I have compared it to enameled miniatures from WW I and the appearance is the same. What I'm trying to show in the new photo is how thick the layer is, especially around the edges. The layer is well over the gap between the core and the rim. It looks like when you have some liquid i a small container, the level around the edges will raise above the center. There is also some cracks around the year which is typical enamel cracks. I don't believe this was done by the maker but rather by a jeweller. Why? Repair or just to make it more attractive, maybe for a parade mount? Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it's an interesting personalised cross Kjell [attachmentid=44651]

Here is my lady's boutonniere and lapel button it came together with. The lapel button is well worn but this don't show up in the photo. The full size ribbon is a bit different from yours but the maker of this cross is also 100. Kjell [attachmentid=44405]

Hello Gentlemen! For my first posting in this forum I have chosen to show this enameled IC 2nd cl., mm 128. The 1813 on the reverse has not been polished, but is faintly visible through the enamel. Comments and thoughts would be appreciated. Regards, Kjell [attachmentid=44402]
