[QUOTE="OldThing, post: 9461081, member: 81517"]G'day fellow Antiquers! Very much hoping that someone will be able to identify this item, or at least point me in the right direction to further research. I figured out the emblem is "engineer corps", but have not been able to determine which country's airforce. Nor an approximate date. It has been in my family since the 1930s. It appears to be made of iron (or really heavy earthenware...not going to drop it to find out, and has a good "ping" when you flick/tap it with fingernails). Approximate dimensions are 130mm x 130mm x 20mm, and weighs just over 600g. The glaze is a jade colour and thin in places. There are no maker's marks. Happy to provide further info (if I can) and other pix. Thanks in anticipation and over to you... :-) [ATTACH=full]440153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]440154[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
