I have one almost exactly like that and it is worth about 200 dollars. Who knows...... Yours is probably a lot more antique.
I bought this possibly bronze item about eight years ago at a traveling antique and collectibles fair. It is about five inches long and very worn and aged looking. It says The Arms Were Granted in 1413 by King Henry V for the finding of the true Cross on one side.
It very engraved and decorative and has a top that is a castle, the family crest and says COLCHESTER. It doesn't rust or turn green so I guess it is bronze because of its weight and color. Can anyone tell me how to find more info on it?
I've looked on on search engines and even emailed the Colchester society in England.
Thanks,
