Description: | Mount from belt or harness, made from copper alloy and basically drop-shaped or heart-shaped. The central heart shape has two outward-scrolling relief lines, one above the other and the top pair filling the curved lobes, with a vertical line of three pellets below. Around the top pair is yellow enamel, then around the lower pair is green enamel, then around the pellets is more yellow. At the top is a little rounded terminal, and the pointed base is extended with another pair of outward-curling scrolls with green enamel around, then another small rounded terminal. On the reverse are two bent-over attachment spikes. A relatively smart mount for the type.
