    Default Prong Back Pin Opinions Needed

    Weekend find, HJ diamond with the prong back. Under the prongs it is “RZM” marked on one end and the other, M1/120. Would this be a hatpin or a knife pin? Is it okay?

    Looks good to me Richard. I don't see any red flags at all. Someone else here will know if it's for the knife of a hat.

    going by the pic i would say a hat pin as the prongs look to big to be a dagger pin, but as i said it awful hard to see how thick the prongs are from the pic

    Prongs are really thin.

    hard to say 100% from the pics but the prongs look small enough to be a dagger diamond

    Its good, intended use not sure, may well be a dagger diamond, late Diamonds measure 25mm high 14.5mm wide.

    Its a dagger grip diamond, pins from the middle are dagger, pins either end are for the hat, ive posted the diffrent types previous. The dagger pins fit thru a hole in the middle of the dagger grip and spread outward.Regards Pete.

    I would agree on the dagger, but the prongs seem a little to big to me? but i could be wrong on that one

    yep, agree with the other comments. It looks like a diamond for knife. Nice one too.
