    Hi All, Hope this finds everyone safe & well!
    Well clearly I have no idea what these are. Goldtone metal with red guilloche enamel accents. French? soldiers or guards wearing bearskin? hats with fleur-de-lis? Measure 1 7/16" tall.
    Two prongs on back. Some type of uniform adornment? I've searched every term I can think of but no results. Came out of a can of very old buttons & thread from an estate sale. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for looking!! Nancy

    Hi, could be, apparently they were worn in several countries back in the day. Just don't know what the purpose might have been. Thanks!
