double headed eagle medal

[burnie]

Hello members.

Does anyone one out there have any information on this medal that I have, country of origin etc.

I have shown images of both sides and it measures approximately 7cm tall and 6 cm wide

Regards Burnie

its only a guess,

but it might be Albanian

problem is there is little written

about Imperial Albainian medals

Hello!

I think this is not albanian because it is not albanian crown, and albanian eagle has not anything in arms.

Regards, IVB

Hallo burnie

nice looking Item, but I have as yet, no idea which country its from, however from the size it might be off a sash

and not a breast decoration.

I took the liberty of brightening up your pictures for clarity.

Two-headed eagles feature in:

Albania, Austria, Imperial Russia, Serbia, to name but a few.

Interesting that the eagle has a grenade rather than a sceptre in its claw.

This is a Masonic badge. These appear in various auctions in the "International Order" category or on eBay {sometimes eBay vendors correctly describe them}. I do not know what it signifies.
