I found this strange iron object with a badge or something attached to the front. Does anyone know how old it is or what the symbol stands for?

Looks like an old lock back plate, possibly for a door due to the shaft in the photo.

This is the remains of a padlock. The ornate portion that catches your eye swivels to the side on a pin to reveal a key hole. Probably too corroded to swivel. The ornate part is copper or brass and survived better than the iron.

You are both right, here is the key hole.
