Hi Graham!
I can't help with the ID, sorry...
But I CAN welcome you to here! Greetings and salutations and such!
You might get a better response if you post a request for help in the main ebay discussion forum.
Arer there any maker marks or stamps on the broach? It looks like copper to me. Very cool!
Answer:
Hmm ok - I'll put a link to this posting on the ebay discussion as suggested. Copper / bronze - im just the hired help - its my father who's the antiques boffin, and this bad boy has him stumped
With regard to markings, he thinks its a 'picasso' broach. If you look closely to the left of the nose, you can just about make it a 'P. I '
