This gold metal wheatsheaf insignia is 1 1/8" tall. It is similar to the coat of arms of the Vasa dynasty involved in Sweden, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The badge came to me with a group of miitary WW2 insignia and I appreciate your thoughts concerning identification.
