The more i stare at this image, the more frustrated I get. The wings look American, the badge looks British and the crossed rifles look Australian. wtf?

That's like the definition of Canadian right?

Agreed Tinman, frustrating, yet oddly intriguing - what can I say, I get curious about the strangest things. I've sent a pic off to the RAF and Naval Museum in the UK, see if they have anything on it.

Mind you, once I find out what/who it represents, I'll probably have to start trying to figure out how it came to be in a local shop in the middle of the Mojave Desert lol........

The wings definitely do not appear to be of a UK origin, yet the anchor and crown look like RN - the crossed rifles, no idea.

Kilo, I'm leaning towards it be Canadian possibly now - hopefully the museums can come up with some info.

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Was thinking could be a Band members sheet music clip?
Like a fancy paperclip?
