Hi, Does anyone recognize the mark on this sash pin? At first I thought it was WB in a diamond, but now I'm not sure. It looks like there is a period between the 2 letters, but at the top of the letters, which makes me think it may be something followed by the letter M. Anyway, I looked under B, M, and W on the RSJ site, and did some searching under WB and haven't come up with it.
Thanks for any help with this.

I see a backward R and M but don't have any info. Great pin by the way!

I don't generally associate these pins with Russia, but it could be Cyrillic initials. The "backward R" would be pronounced "ya" in English.

Thank you both. I've done some more research and seen the same or very similar pin with a different mark and unmarked, so it may not matter much.

Sweety pin! I havent seen that mark before, I tried looking up MR thinking it may have been struck backwards but didn't find anything. Anyway, it's a beauty, lucky you
