    Agreed -- I think it is "decorative mish-mash" as well.

    The stamping isn't so clear that I can make out all the details. It does certainly seem to be the Arms of Luxembourg at the top - or at least it's barry of ten something and something, a lion rampant crowned something.

    I can't make out the charges on the two that flank it - I think there's a ship in there, and I'm not sure if that's meant to be an electors bonnet at the top.
