Tiny crown?

[Hunthicks]

This little wedge shaped piece appears to have been broken off of something. It bear a crown shape on each side. It's approx. 3/4 of an inch wide. Any ideas would be great - I like these little mysteries now and again.

From a cap badge?

Throw it in the junk bucket and go digging.

I've never seen an early badge with the design on both sides.

 

[ivan salis]

who said early?

 

[CRUSADER]

Sorry not a crown or capbadge related in my opinion.

Ok show me any non early pewter/lead badge with the design on both sides and we'll talk more.

We don't use that here. Maybe he'd think it is some type of relic preservation cream.

Junk it is! I just get interested in the oddest pieces of what not that stick out to me for no reason. :P My noobish eyes get excited when they see a crown, because those military pieces seem to avoid me!

Posting it is definitely the right thing to do! Even a piece of an early military find would be cool.... if it was.

I can see why you thought that, just seen too many crowns for them not to jump out at me. What bothers me, is I recognise it from something but can't put my finger on it

'scuse me BUT, what bothers me, is that our newish member is told by a couple of very respectable longer term members, to bin it!! without any firm identification 8)

This is exactly the sort of 'miniature shard' from which I have seen great ID's accomplished here.

Are we getting too soft

Re-viewing the pic - could it be the base of a Fleur de Lis ?
Viewing more pics might help

Maybe you picked up the wrong end of the stick. I never said bin it. IP & myself were having an 'in' joke, & the poster I believe can make his own decisions & I'm sure he understood our jesting.
Also a junk bucket in my head is like the place you keep things you can't ID but have very little obvious going for it. Junk bucket not bin.

Fair enough I did misunderstand. Probably because I don't find enough stuff to even have a junk bucket!
