This looks to be of fine quality worksmanship, but I do remember when in Europe on different occasions such carved plates were readily available in various designs and patterns and levels of quality and I think pieces from the 1970's can by now have acquired a fine patina, I guess you would really have to know how to date one and what you have before considering a major commitment.
Cheers,
John

Hi
Nothing military with this plate, it is a lauburu or basque cross (yes I know looks like a svatiska ) and was sold as sovenir, with a lot of other items of this part of France, in the south west, at the border with Spain
The plate you show was made in the 60'. The lauburu is engraving also on glass, plates, etc...

Additionally, I think the maltese cross in the center does imply something of the German military.
I suspect this is not a tourist piece. Whether is it period or post-war is another matter.

Originally posted by Mr. Scratch View PostI have seen these spiral armed swastikas on ancestral-inspired Nazi pieces also. I think I have a period pin around here with that very design, patterened after ancient Germanic swastikas, that I believe was a Winterhilfswerk prize..
The first is close to the image depicted on the plate. The reverse of the pin features german text which conveys that the motif was found in Greece and is believed to be from 1600 BC.Attached Files
