Sweetheart brooch
Brooch showing two crossed guns, possibly Lewis Guns
This sweetheart brooch was found in my mother-in-law's jewelry box recently - her name was Mona Wetherall (nee Wood). She lived in Sheffield and later moved to Leeds and her husband was from a farming family near Mickelthwaite, Bingley, West Yorkshire. The family doesn't know anything about it - who it was given to or who given by.
Brooch showing two crossed guns, possibly Lewis Guns.
