Default Zamindar badges

Some odd ones,
A couple of Indian Zamindar badges. These turn up from time to time and are badges of old Indian Zamindars (landlords) mostly from Bengal and the United Provinces. They are quite attractive modelled on British badges and often inspired by English/Scottish crests/coat of arms.

The quill badge would probably have been used by a secretary/scribe in one of these estates..
