 ;D It does look like the duck flying away now, but before, to me it looked as if it was coming in to land.
It is something with wings - but the head now seems disconnected, so not a duck.  :)

The double eagle emblem apparently signifies an empire, originally Byzantine but also associated with others including Russian and Scandinavian. Often it is topped by a crown, in this case I think a winged one or possibly a winged helmet. It's also on the Albanian flag. I can't help with the ID though.

I sometimes see harlequin sets marked made in West Germany so they would date to before reunification in 1990 (today would be marked Made in Germany). Guess that made in East Germany also possible (could be marked GDR).
