Early PERU South America Large 900 Solid Silver Inca or Aztec Bird Pin brooch

Description

If you do decide to purchase from me, please note that I stand behind my sale, and it is NOT necessary to contact ebay, before contacting me. If you have ANY questions, or are unhappy with the item, for any reason, what so ever. Just either write or call me, and I will do whatever is necessary to make you a happy customer. Also, please pay attention to measurements, because pictures sometimes look very large in the listing, but the item, might look smaller in person.
I have been a licensed estate buyer for the last 35 years, having multiple locations, and jewelry stores, and I recently closed shop and retired from the retail end of the business.  I have a ton of leftover items, not limited to Jewelry, watches or parts, so I am going to sell them all on ebay.  I have a large collection of Sterling Silver serving pieces as well as object d'art, in Silver
It is getting harder and harder to still find vintage and antique, beautiful silver items, especially with silver prices being what they are.  Too many beautiful things getting torched and melted.  Sad!
This has also been in my keeper file, until now, and it is a very old, 900 Peruvian  made pin of a large flying bird.  It is defintiely hand made, and hand engraved with deep marks in the silver.
There is a hallmark besides the 900, on the back, but I do not recognize it.  The bird measures 78mm or 3.08" in width and it weighs an impressive 29.6 grams in total weight.  No bends, dents or damage of any kind, and this looks like a museum piece, when you see it in person.  Mexican jewelry was really not around that much until the 40's, and this looks older than that.
It was tested and is Sterling Silver and guaranteed to be solid 925, Sterling Silver.
I do not polish vintage Silver items, as I have found that the majority of buyers, prefer the original patina left intact on these items.
No damage or repair marks.
I will always combine shipping on purchases of multiple items.
Please note that any item that is altered in any way after purchase, whether buy the buyer or by the seller, it can not be returned under any circumstances. This means that I you shorten a bracelet, or resize a ring, I Will not take it back. Please be sure you want what you have bought, before you change it in any way.
Thank you,
