I've posted a couple of JPGs of a whorl and a badge found recently. The
webpage won't win any awards unless it's for 'LEAST CREATIVE' or similar but
any info regards age and history behind the items would be much appreciated.
Either click the email link on the page or reply here if you can!!

Nice find Andre
The badge looks like a horse harness decoration. I am no expert but the
crown doesn't look like it relates to any particular royal era for military
use and the design below is a bit plain to relate to military or royal
origins. I am only guessing that the design was of the maker's choice. Would
you say it is made of copper alloy and the green is patina and not enamel?
Any chance of upping a higher resolution picture to your site and a scan of
the reverse?
Cheers
Rev

It's definately a copper alloy with a green patina and has no signs of
enamel although the impressions would have looked nice with an enamelled
inlay. I'll take a couple more pics and post em tomorrow....

Ah I think te'z a WWI flying corps badge i think? see the prop
fins,,I'll av'e a look.

Bring back us all a stick of rock Andre,have a good one!!

Goose blobs :0)

Revvy

Told you I was no expert. I thought the props were petals. Still not sure
though. Google image search on that doesn't come up with anything similar.
Still think it might be a Horse Harness Decor.
Have a good time in N.Y. Andre, hope you're not sleeping in the middle of
the town, bleddy noisy place. And don't trust those 'walk' signs, the cars
really don't care if you are crossing the road when they say that.

Cheers for the replies guys! We had a great time in NY, even filmed a
GARRETT metal detecting machine in action (whilst waiting for a ferry) til a
gun toting security guard put a stop to it "BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
SIR!!" he drawled... I would have been had we not been shepherded like a
load of sheep dressed as sardines into a room the size of cardboard box...

The wife has now named my detector. She asked me if I was out with 'Dolly'
this weekend....I said yes...
