Heer Nice General assault

Front and back... does anyone have an idea what maker?

Hi Chris

Going on the parts that I marked out I would say it's a GAB for Unknown Maker #11 massive GAB

I went by the top feathers, how the top row of three start about wing top and how the 2nd row appears of center. I also went by the 2 sets of small feathers on your example they are smaller on the bottom which seems to be going against the norm (Generaly equal in size, or the top ones are smaller}, I also used the fact that the feathers on the left wing are not on a horizontal line but go up as they run out,

Hope this helps some

Viewed from the back the cut out's are very poorly finished. I was begining to dispair so I worked from the front of the badge instead. Glad to be of help
