European Pouch

Hello ALL. And Happy New Year - I hope LOL

I bought this small pouch some years ago at a very good price since the seller could not I.D. it's origin or time frame. Neither can I LOL Although it looks European - from some where.
It's well made with a wood under frame painted red, and covered in leather and brass trim. The pocket is empty with no compartment for anything special.
The small brass loops on the sides leads me to believe it was designed to hang from a chain on a belt or across the chest on a baldric. Maybe for a dress/parade/guard type uniform (?) Don't know.

Just thought someone here might recognize the CROWN as a clue to it's origin.
Thanks for any help.
