Hello Paul,

I have one of these as well as a suspended sweetheart pendant. I am of the opinion that these are period because these are the only two I have seen.

while the full-sized one has been heavily faked, I am unaware of copies of a miniature floating about. The only thing that throws me is no twist to the pin?

[WJT]

Here are mine. Straight pin also.

Here are some others I found on the web several years back.
