Austro-Hungarian gold pin with partridge
A substantial pin (6.71 g) made of 14k yellow gold with a head in the shape of a partridge, crafted with meticulous detail. The bird is rendered with absolute fidelity, including engraved feathers, and its eyes are represented by two red stones (which cannot be identified due to their size).
The piece is stamped on the pin with the master mark, the Austro-Hungarian "fox" hallmark, and the separate letter "A."
