Hmmmm... Not sure either...

Based on what I can see, I would say you found a white cow eating marshmallows in a blizzard.

Seriously, if you posted a picture, I can't see it. Anyone else?

There's 3 pics. Maybe posted to big I dunno.

I think you might have a Russian example of a noble family's coat of arms. Look at the attached site for Russian coat of arms. There are a couple of double headed eagles with a crown on top. I didn't look at all of them very close.

I think it could be Polish! No joke! And that would support the earlier postings! Snicker!

I believe it's the emblem of the Russian Federation at present.

A history of the symbol here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle

I'm leaning towards the Cost of Arms of Toledo Spain. Although most variations show the Rampant Lions in red, there are a few examples in blue.

Dang, the A2 raid is happening. This one might make 20 plus!

I think you're on tha money.

Looks like it may have originally been attached to a plaque similar to this one....

Not unlike the P. of E. raid earlier...I counted 54 in a row before I logged off.

With that type of back attachment, I'm thinking a uniform collar pin.
Since you didn't offer the dimensions and we don't know where it was found, that's just a guess.

Welcome to Tnet,

Hapsburg. No doubt. Can you see the Golden Fleece hanging between the eagles feet? That's the giveaway. The Hapsburgs were Austrian but also a branch in Spain. Gary
