Victorian Pocket Watch Chain Shield Fob Antique 1890s Ornate Silver Nickel Fob

Original Victorian Gentleman's highly ornate Antique pocket watch chain silver nickel shield fob. Similar to the fobs I have supplied to Pinewood Studios. Please excuse the reflections/dark shadows in the pictures - was extremely difficult to photograph). Measures; 4cm height (including the top ring), 2.4cm width and weighs a respectable 6.9 grams. Wonderful highly polished shield shaped fob which is beautifully decorated to the front with elaborate leaves and scroll work and carries to base a 'ribbon/banner' adornment with a very unusual love heart tipped arrow below. To centre is a slightly raised, un-engraved shield shaped cartouche. The back is smooth, highly polished and again free from any inscriptions or initials. Clearly stamped with a registration number (with a recessed, oblong shaped cartouche): Rd283761 (the Victorians loved their registrations and patents). Very big robust and secure steel top ring to attach to a Gentleman's pocket watch chain. Excellent clean and bright condition with absolutely no wear and just a few overall light little surface scratches and tiny bit of patina (imagine this would have been suspended from a watch chain for many years) commensurate with age. Will arrive in a new velvet presentation pouch and be very securely and safely packed. ***Will Ship Worldwide*** UK - Free! Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For Delivery
