CraftPolychrome enamel coat of arms
Made forUnidentified

A steel Reverso whose case-back carries a crowned shield: a red band across the top bearing a crescent moon flanked by two mullets (heraldic stars), above a shield quartered diagonally in white and black, a small gold shield at its centre and a red lion in the lower field, with a scrolled ribbon beneath. Crescents and mullets together are a recurring device across a number of British family arms, but nothing in the source identifies which family or institution this specific combination belongs to. One of nine 1930s Reversos published together on page 78 of a Jaeger-LeCoultre heritage volume, “In Praise of Craftsmanship.”
