The fact that is was soft suggests to me much more recent manufacture than has been suggested.
anyway for posterity here are some slightly different tablets/plates/plaques on Coast Guard Insignia, I assume these are from the period when the Coast Guard was under Admiralty control pre 1923 (or was it 1927?)
