[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 2237918, member: 4864"]I've started to collect antique seals. I splurged on this one, drawn to the amethyst (or amethyst glass) color, and the very unique crest. I'm still trying to decide if I should attempt removing the seal or just polish up the brass and find a new handle for it. I have a Georgian era pinchbeck fob that has a loose stone, so I'm thinking of switching out the two. This seal came from Wielen, Poland, which is apparently at the historical border with Prussia. The seal is mounted in brass and appears to be dug. I am not familiar with coat of arms and was hoping it might stand out to one of you. I already searched for coats of arms with three axes and a cut tree, to no luck. I wonder if the crowned lion is of significance.
