Would like assistance ID'ing a maker mark on a piece of sterling. The piece is a pin back brooch in the form of Crusader or Kingdom of Jerusalem cross. It is marked on the back with a copyright "C", a 3 prong candle stick with the letters JA at the base, and "STER".
Interested in learning the age origin and maker. Thanx in advance for your time and interest.
