Stumped on 'G' Stamp! 1950's Atomic style pin stamped "12k G" ??

I am familiar with 12k GF (Gold Fill) but I have never seen just a 'G' (maybe a 'C'?) ...The stamp is not cut off either as if the 'F' didn't make it. Any input is welcome! Thanks so much!

P.S. Complete stamp is "Nice 12k G"...assuming Nice, France since it lines up with the atomic style and time period.

Well, somebody's got to say it -may we have pictures, please? Front and back, because even if it's just the stamp you're interested in, the rest of us want to see it, plus the item itself may give a clue to the stamp.

Sure thing--these are as clear as I could get--hope it helps--thanks for any and all help!

It looks like a gold filled (missing the F) piece of jewelry from what I see in the picture and also how it's constructed imo. Take it to a pawn shop and see if they thinks it's a solid piece of gold jewelry. They'll let you know if it's worth anything to them.

Thanks Tamrock, good idea. The more I look at it I think you're right about the 'F' missing.

If it is 12K G and missing the F then I would bet 1/20th 12K gold filled. If the G is really an R and missing GP or GF then 1/30 12K gold filled. But if that G is a C while unusual, but it could mean 12K Clad then its gold electro plate (plated with a thin layer of 12K gold). If it is 12K G missing an E or EP then its 12K gold electro plate.

It appears to be a woman's pin or earing, There is a moving part to this, unclasp it and if the post is blunted it is an ear ring if the post is sharp it is a pin.
