Silver Marking ID

[bluecabochon]

I have been trying to find info on this silver marking for hours. I can make out that the top stamp is SDN. The N is a little smaller than the other two letters. One of the marks is a hexagon but the inside is too tarnished to see what's inside. The other I can't make out. I looked at Scandinavian markings but have so far not found anything. This pin looks Scandinavian to me and a tiny bit Brutalist. What do you think? It belonged to a friend's mother and I don't know how it was acquired. Thanks in advance.

Do you have a camera that can take a close up that is in focus? Try taking 5 photos with different settings and see if one turns out better than all the others. Make sure the camera is stable. Looks Scottish? I don't see anything Brutalist about it. Maybe if you polshed the marks.

Oh, a Viking brooch. I didn't know that. I do like their TV show though. So would this have been worn by Ragnor or Lagertha? 🙂
