    I know nothing about the stamp but I love the bird it's attached to!

    It might best be described as a "seal," not a "stamp."

    I reversed the image and flipped it to get a very crude (and somewhat furry) idea of what it may look like as a positive image:

    and a smaller one with some other tweaks (cleans up a little when reduced):

    It could well be a generic coat of arms, not a noble one.

    Any more information on this seal from anyone? BTW, it weights 300 grams!

    The escutcheon is charged with 3 saltires/St. Andrew's cross in the lower row. The charges in the upper row has 3 all the same, a star or flower? Are they the same as the ones on the crown?

    Sabre's photo makes me think I'm seeing a mycelium. Not that I can make this out either:
