That looks like a 1/2 batten from the Swiss Canton Sitten, made from 1708 to 1722. I cannot read the date from those pictures, and it looks long worn away, but if you see any trace of a number to the right of the shield in the first picture, that would determine the date.

Thank you Joseph. Quite how you recognised this is beyond my understanding,but at last I know what it is even if the date is missing.

May be seeing things, but do I see a '3' near the right side of the stars?
