Vintage Gold Filled Brooch With Pearl

This cute vintage brooch is marked 12KT G.F. but I cannot figure out who made it.  It features a faux pearl in the middle and has a maker mark on the back that has a shield with letters/images I cannot read inside.  If anyone has any information on this piece, please let me know.  Gold filled jewelry has been made for years, by various designers, and is still popular today.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.rubylane.com/ is coming soon.
