Hello all... I have a lovely butterfly pin here. I am not computer or internet savvy, so I am feeling quite accomplished after figuring out as well as the copy and past thing. Yay! I need help with these hallmarks. I have done some research, and discovered that it may be from the Scandinavian area.
The mark 925S, was a clue that sent me to the Norway, Sweden areas. The middle symbol is the most perplexing for me, as well as the last two marks, NM. I have searches for hours, and days! I could not find anything like this. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Re: Hallmark on Silver Enamel Butterfly Pin
Your butterfly seems to be made in Bergen, Norway by Theodor Olsen during the first half of the 20th century. The company is still active today http://theodorolsen.no/om-oss/
Re: Hallmark on Silver Enamel Butterfly Pin
Forgot the NM. It is an abbreviation of "Norskt Mönster" meaning Norwegian pattern. It is a kind of a trade mark for Norway.

Thank you Qrt.s That was fast! And I'm getting close to solving my mystery. Would you know what the center symbol means?
Kind regards...

In my eyes it looks like a crown on Bergen's town mark after 1842 that is 7 cannonballs in two rows of 4 and 3, but it is only my opinion.

It is not a Crown.
It is M and A. Magnus Aase.
