Hi Nick,
It's an unknown maker, (but probably from the Gablonz region). A solid zincer, it's known to be made also in N/S and comes in two die patterns, this one being the type II. The roundwire catch is typical, and flat wire examples are also common.
Regards, Ned.

Thank you very much Ned for imparting your knowledge
Much appreciated !

Hi Nick, a nice original award that has a "ball hinge" like the maker AS in tri-angle used. Leon.
Nice one Nick!
