Hi Kev / Greg. The various Belgian factories made lots of pedestal paperweights, and lots of army badge weights, so I suspect this is Belgian. That said, Paul certainly made some badge weights, and some in pedestal form - I think that he and Salvador saw this style of paperweight when they were in Paris, around 1913 (along with harlequins, fountains, and sulphides) and reproduced the styles later. The Sweetbriar link is probably irrelevant: Anne was not a paperweight expert, especially in the early days: she used to consult John Deacons and others about attributions.
