18thC Steel Continental Knight In Armour Fob Seal

Seal Detail

An 18th century Continental steel fob seal, the handle with suspension loop tapering to  circular matrix, engraved with the image of a knight holding aloft a pistol, standing on a brick wall, in front of him a shield comprising two trees growing from the ground.  

Whilst not an armorial for a nobleman, it is more likely to have been used as a sentimental piece, the owner wishing to impart a sense of power and strength to the recipient.
