My Fathers Wardrobe

[Vectorxw8]

My father's wardrobe collected over the years. I am trying to figure out when it was made and what it may be worth.

The jacket appears to have what may be a registration number printed on it. Depending on what the number actually is, tracking it down may give you an approximate date of manufacture.

That's an interesting kilt pin, does it have a jeweler's mark on the back?

I have not found any makers mark on the kilt pin. The stone does appears to be amethyst. My father collected items for some 60 years and most things he told me he just picked up along the way. So I am having the fun of trying to figure it all out. Scott

To find out if the stones are real, you could heat a needle up in a flame and then touch it to the stone(in an inconspicuios place, of course). If it goes in, its fake.

Yes, That was the test I used to confirm its amethyst. But I could not find a makers mark on it.
