They are quite distinctive with the eagles and central figure......... I have high hopes that it could be identified.

Hi Gene,

Jeeping creepers, I've seen plenty of those patrons in sales catalogs but I can't find any at the moment. The web is not helpful either: no useful entries for 'oriental/greek/brass/patron/firearms' on Firefox. I did do some research, believe me.

I will hang on though and leaf thru more important sales catalogs. Sorry but it's not my field of expertise.

Eftihis, could you possibly contribute some reference pics from a book or catalog on Greek or oriental art? These patrons are not rare, there are plenty of them in the market ...

Gene, please have patience.

A dead tired good night to the sunny (? ) South of England from a cold, windy and rainy Bavaria -

and of course best as always,
Michael
