The crescent shaped plate is convex and measures 6-3/8" x 2-3/8". Probably from a cartridge box. Composed of brass with a heavy gilt finish and a large "FR" monogram below a crown. The applied monogram is of silverplated iron and is fastened using three rivets on the back. CONDITION: Front retains about 60-70% original gilt finish with some denting, scratches, and areas of dark patina. The back retains a very dark green patina. Mounts for attachment are absent. Monogram shows traces of silver finish. A very nice and scarcely encountered plate.
