I can't find this in the list of Norwegian makers and surely it's Norwegian with the design of the pin or brooch, in addition to the 830S. Click on photos to enlarge. Also are the hanging discs just gold plated?
Thank you, Tom

the type of brooch is called a 'solje' and is a traditional piece of Norwegian jewellery.
don't know the answer to your other questions though!
