Colonial shield??

[Coilcrazy2]

I found thiis small shield awhile back and could not find ANY info on it. It has cool engraving and appears to be hand trimmed brass. Thanks for the help~Coilcrazy2

Welcome to the board! I re-sized that pic for you... could you post a picture of the back and give some measurement or size reference?

Thanks for the revising! Its about the size of a half dollar and the back has 2 little iron "nubs", one on the top and one toward the bottom point like it was pinned on or something. Sorry, I dont have any pics of the back and don't think I can take tryin to post another one.

lol It reminds me somewhat of something I found last year. But mine didn't have the design - which is very cool btw

Check out this thread - I think it will probably be identified as some sort of horse brass - saddle shield:

That's probably what it is and I have seen the exact same, ones engraved with the Prince of Wales feathers.
