Germany, Imperial. A German State Crown Badge, Ca. 1900 GTRexclude Two-prong open-claw buckle in silvered(Kaiserkrone Abzeichen). Constructed of gilded silver, horizontal pinback, unmarked, measuring 35 mm (h) x 33 mm (w), in extremely fine condition.

The prototype was lost during the Second World War, but the crown design has since become a symbol of monarchism in Germany.
