Definitely not military.

 

First thought is that it is similar in style to Egyptian revival jewelry that became very popular in the 1920's after the discovery of King Tut's tomb. If you google Egyptian revival jewelry you will see that wing pattern in many pins and brooches. Findings look like that period, too.

 

Cheers, Tod

That style Egyptian Revival badge is also being applied to cheap fantasy medals out of Serbia. (See ebay item #223030876670.)
