Does anyone recognise this?

Posting for a new member who is trying to determine the origin of this piece and what it might be. Can anyone help?

Bumped this old thread and moved here to the new Italian forum, as I feel that is the origin of this badge, unless some can advise better?

Cheers, Ade.

It`s an odd looking badge,has 7 wing feathers on one side and 6 0n the other,maybe a furniture ornament?

Any chance of a pic of the reverse?

I'd like to know the size and see the reverse of this item...It actually looks more like a Union Eagle...Furniture Ornament is my first guess as well..

Yes , i would like to see the reverse also if possible .

I don't think it has anything to do with the Civil War or the Union. Most of the eagles from that period looked more like chickens. Other than the 5 stars at the top I persoanlly don't see anything US about it. IMO

Thanks
