Ah, thanks for the replies.

It has the motto "Semper Paratus" at the bottom if that makes any difference.

I did think it looked quite cheap, no makers mark on the back or anything like that. The knights helmet with crown struck me as odd?

"Semper Paratus" - Always Ready. Motto widely used including by the US Coast Guard.
