  • this must be the other piece you were talking about. it is fantastic, also the photo is very good. One can see the difference between silver and guilded parts, and the lacy decoration is excellent. This is really a great item, very beautiful and rare in this quality.

  • This is a double piece and has a pin that goes into a tube. This is also not as old as the first one. 

  • I got this one first and then found the other one a few days later with some one else. very odd since they are so uncommon. Neither vendor sold anything similar and just happened to have them. One was a silver dealer and the other had coins and military items.
