I was flipping through my photos and came across this engraving on a french pistol side plate and it made me stop and look again. It looks too much like a set of Magnavisor's to let it pass with out sharing. Tom this could be one of your Iron hatted cousins sans the Horns.
That just made my day.

From the crest on top, I'm guessing it's a helmet.
