It was not my best hunt but I got three interesting finds.
1, A military cap badge.
2,a coat of arms pin.
3, Fleur de ley. I don't know what its for, its too heavy for a badge and theres
no sign of a pin on the back.

Hi,

I think the capbadge is ASC - Army Service Corp. I have a couple but yours is in better shape :)

The heavy brass object looks more like the crown & the Prince of Wales feathers. Clearly a royalist type decoration for some sort of furniture or metalwork. It looks like it is missing a pole at the bottom.

Happy Hunting

Thanks dugfinds,
The cap badge was bent in half when found, I managed to straighten just enough
before it started to crack, I was'nt sure which order to put the letters in.
I think you'er right about the prince of wales feathers.

Very nice finds Dave! Thanks for the post and pics, I always enjoy seeing the finds from countries like England and Europe, it is American heritage and great history. HH, Mike
