Thank you for your answers, John & John!
I am myself all for reading the mag itself. But it simply is not available where I live, and I’m sure that many readers here face the same dilemma (apart from the language barrier).

: I suppose hypothetically Begeer could have
: remodelled an older tiara from the
: collection, one that once belonged to Queen
: Sophie. Yes. We simply do not know, yet. But
: the news that the tiara in it's present
: shape seems to have been made by Begeer is
: truly a new find, worth some exitement and
: it confirms the doubts over the provenance
: (maker) of at least one tiara always
: attributed to Jeweller Schurmann in
: Frankfurt.

: Sorry, folks, but as I have no access to
: article in VORSTEN, this discussion is
: confusing me.
: Do I understand correctly, that the author
: of the article dicovered the b/w pic of the
: tiara in the Royal Begeers archives? But do
: the archive also confirm that it is from the
: year 1897? If I understood the discussion
: correctly, there is only the photo and no
: accompanying documentation from the
: archives. So that could mean that Begeers
: either made the tiara completely new, or
: they altered an existing tiara (eg. from
: Queen Sophie), couldn’t it?
: Could anyone please enlighten me? Thanks in
: advance!
