It's a Brummie Thing

Hi

I found these three items over the space of a couple of years and I think they are from horse mounting or such.  I did recognise them when I found them as I do see them on most street signs around my area as they are the official coat of arms for Birmingham.  It was nice to find one on my digging travels but never expected to find three.

They are the old version of the coat of arms with the man and woman reserved to as now and I think they changed it a few times since 1880 odd with the current version being used since 1974.


The above image is one I took whilst out walking the dog, even though it is not the best looking emblem you very rarely see painted versions out and about.
