This disc, embossed with a police eagle came with a group of other polizei-related artefacts. The Aluminium disc was made using the stamping process that enabled high relief details to be captured. Its purpose is unknown, but we can speculate that it was possibly used for a memento or attached onto a commemorative plaque. The below right-hand corner shows HB, representing the maker H.H. van Beusekom (Gladbeck) who also made the numerous Nuremberg-styled eagles and other artefacts for the Reich. From author's own collection.
