Maybe "Wilma" instead of "Wilbur"? How big is it?

I *think* I'm seeing diacritical marks (hard to tell) so perhaps it is not in English?

Thanks for the feedback Metro, Great info about the Unger Brothers ID, The writing is definitely not English, but I have not figured out the correct language...yet. A few updates, It is 1.5 inches across and .75 inches top to bottom, and the back IS the Unger Bro. Mark of "sterling 925 fine" I really appreciate the info and we'll consider this half solved, now I'd just like to know the language it's written in :)

That old script is very hard to read. Even what looks like 3 initials in the center is tough. The center initial looks like a D but im probably wrong.

Osburn Gubilmann? The first name kinda looks like it starts with O :dontknow:

I love that old silver hand engraving but there are so many variations. Try looking at old copperscript alphabets. https://www.google.com/search?q=cop...UQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=copper+script++alphabet

Hey C9, I think it may be Latin, non the less I sent it to Mark Parker, maybe he can figure it out. Thanks for leaving it for me.......
