Reminded me at first of the Austrian eagle on it's flag. But, a google of the flag shows not quite right. It's so familiar. And what a great find!
i have google lens on my phone but even google can't find it. thank you for your comment i hope i find where its from soon
I think it is a condor and from the Andes. Probably Peru.
Sho looks German to me.
i also think its German but still after hours of looking can't find any info on it. sad times
maybe: German Eagle / Bundesadler / Reichsadler
Yeah, after WWI and before WWII.
any ideas on where to find more info on this please i have spent about 20hrs looking so far and i am still no the wiser.. and thanks for all your help
Have you checked Italy? Certainly looks close to symbols out of the fascist regime there pre/ during WW2.
If you know the unit of your grandfather, you can research where he served/ fought.

this kind of inlay w/ the black background is common in Peru.
i have spent many hours now and i have taken all our comments in and still no luck one love
Just a thought but the German eagle symbol/motif I think the head’s turned the other way. Also, if you notice the talons on this example they’re more rounded and wide and they remind me of Columbian/pre-Columbian images in a way. I think ho2cultcha could be onto something. Imho. It’s a nice piece.
Need pix of back side.
