Interesting find, looks to be in great condition. We could use some better focus in a picture to be able to assist with other inputs. Was the camera hand held? If so try bracing it with both hands and rest your arms on a chair to reduce the movement or put the camera on a tripod. Looks like a Lion and a Crown, would like to see it in focus. Neat button!.....................63bkpkr
