You're most welcome! Scottvez is one who could help. I'll go flag him down, as he has been working on military stuff all day long. : )
Thanks mikko. I don't know on this item--can't tell much from the one image.
Additional photos showing the back, side for thickness, and a close up may help.

Great, pawis! I look forward to that. By the way, I am a woman - funny name for a woman, I know. I'm glad that you joined CW. : )
Look at the image under a magnifying glass. If there are uniform dots, it's lithography. If there are physical impressions or raised ink, it could be some type of printing process such as an etching or intaglio. If it looks like a photograph (you would see 'grain' similar to what you see from old style film enlargements), it's probably photographic. Liquid photographic emulsion has been available for years. Photographers could coat metal, wood and most any material as a subsitute for printing paper.
I agree with Rob above, I myself considered doing this at one time, coating my own objects with emulsion, this just seems a realization of that technique, right now it almost appears a rare object due to the changes of technology !~
