A stamped crescent that has a bar soldered across it with a stud soldered to the bar. The stud is in the form of a 10 point star or perhaps a flower. I am unsure if it is an 'after-market' modification or as manufactured. The even patina on the back indicates the bar and stud were added early in the life of the brass.
