A marked one of these definitely has a place on my want list. Maybe in April!

Thanks guys. Yes, it has a single round back attachment. Found it just outside of Winnipeg at another lost site due to development. It was another "Save."

I don't have too many, I think these are military!


Even though the eagle with anchor has an American Naval look I think it's probably a livery. Is it a flat back, or does it resemble a livery back?
 

Round 2 for me is an 1830 army issue powder flask less than 5000 made.

The back is flat IP! Here's some pics, although I think your right because you can see where the backmark should be and it
looks livery-ish.

Livery makes the most sense all things considered. Thought for a while you beat the odds but I think the odds won.

After Finland civil war (1918) some half-military youth organizations were established. They are called as squirrel-companies. This is Squirrel company medal for distinguish.

On back side of the medal is following text “ 3rd class for distinguish 26.3.1920 ”

-A-
 

Ok...round three..and a mystery to boot. Pretty sure it is a cape clasp but no idea who may have worn it...may not even be military but pretty safe bet that it is.
