The city of London motto is “lord guide us” and strictly speaking it’s called an armorial What’s it on?

Well since inquiring minds wish to know, I don't think H-S would approve but it is mounted on an Ash Tray. Thanks for the id and history.

I asked because a friend is a fire-fighter and has the same logo on an old fireman’s helmet, he recons its worth fortunes but then he owns it so he would like to think that wouldn’t he?

I bet it could be worth as much as the pot of Gold that Ed/Lee are cracking open right now, maybe more!

HA ha, the only value in that lump of filth is the fee I charged the client for removing it.
