Hi , I found this pin at the town dump (transfer station ).? Whenever I go there , I check out the old upholstered chairs & couches by sliceing sides and backs . found alot of good stuff over the years . I found this last week . it's good pickins now because everyone's doing spring cleaning . I'm wondering if it is a military pin ? or did a lady where it as a broach
it measures 1 3/4'' tall X 1 3/8 wide .? I think the letters on the back spell? COM? . Thanks for any info !

Nice find. The clasp looks fairly old (pre-1940). I'm fairly sure its not US military (wouldn't find many crowns on our stuff). Probably British or French, quite possibly not military. I've tried some google-searching using "rampant lion" (rampant being the position the lion is in), and fleur-de-lis (the thingies on the bar above the lion. But there are just too many coat-of-arms that use these, so I couldn't find it. Perhaps if you post on a coat of arms specialty site someone may know. But you've gotta' let us know what you find! :)

g'day

Nice find


The coat of arms is from the city of Lyon in France, although it is often showm as a white lion rampant on a field of red
beneath three gold fleur de lys on a blue background.


My best guess would be French Military

Check out these French medals also

Legion d'honneur - la Croix de guerre - la medaille de la Resistance

I think they all have this crest


Good luck

Whatever it was used for it is a coat of arms. I would google coat of arms and see what you come up with? JIM
