Hello, today I found something really interesting in my opinion and the problem is I have no idea what it is, or what it was used for. Any help will be much appreciated!

Can't make out the insignia but it looks like a cap badge.

It looks like a spider web to me and i forgot to say that "thing" is gold-plated. I hope it helps in a way.

What part of the world was this found in?

 

[kalqga]

In Bulgaria near the Belovo region.

Agree. It looks like a cap badge. We need betters pictures of the symbol.

Is it this?

I don't think its a capbadge. It has some age to it, at least 200+ years & was meant to go on leather. So its most likely is a horse harness mount.

Is it solid metal and heavy, or stamped from thin metal ? A stamping wouldn't be 200 yrs old.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but I was hoping that you guys could tell me it's age and so on. Still waiting for answers though.

It's solid bronze with gold on top of it. You can see the corrosion on the bottom of it.

If I found it here, I would say 14th-15th C.

Was there any WW1 action there?

The battlefields were far from BG. I was thinking it could be something from the Roman Republic (later Empire), it's not rare to find something before 395 AD.

I find hundreds of Roman items & this is not one of them. Its medieval.
