Hi Jacob
It could be part of a presentation piece, or maybe part of a wall plaque/ I really don't know, but what I do know is it is a very nice piece. I have a carved wooden Krim shield 8 inches high.

How big is yours? ( nothing personal)

nothing personal he says

you dirty old man

the cholm shield is from left to right 3,5cm and top to bottom 5,5cm

well, I just do not know, and that is the truth.

It could even be a casting block for an original badge? It looks good, whatever its use is for

hi john

thanks for the reply
i`ll wait for some other opinions then

it looks like there is a some sort of gleu at the back

It is certainly not taken from an original badge. Compare the detail of the eagles head on any documented original. You will find they are very different. Sadly, I don't have one in my collection to show you.

Cheers, Ade.

unfortunatly this is i think another piece that hasnt been documented

the shield in metal is known but as i am surtching for info about this item for 1,5 years now and i cant find anything
