Oh and the round thing.....um.....urr....no idea, but not old. Title: Re: heraldic pendant and some sort of coin/token Post by: Zeus (Joel) on December 22, 2011, 01:45:32 PM Cheers Geoff. As to the arms, with my eyes i can't make out anything on it so as to tracing it i wouldn't have a clue where to start.

And looks to be corrosion to me Geoff.
The red looks like enamel. Title: Re: heraldic pendant and some sort of coin/token Post by: Chef Geoff on December 22, 2011, 03:45:05 PM I am no expert at this, but the number of possibilities are relatively small, so a real expert would probably have little trouble (if it was English in the first place and not brought back from the 100 years war as a memento) The only one I have found so far that matches gives the name of Adam De Chevening.
