WWII or maybe earlier?

Picked this up as a WWII era Enlisted service cap badge. The circled stars area is not round, but more of an oval, and not quite the same as modern, and some that I have seen that are WWII era. Could this be early WWII era, maybe as far back as WWI maybe? The eagle insignia is a separate piece than the backing plate, not all one piece like some I have seen.

No, it's WW2 and has been polished repeatedly. WW1 discs were one piece and a different pattern. See: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/52133-ww1-visor-cap-enlisted-mans/

Gotcha... Thanks.. I got it with a batch of WWII stuff from an estate that was connected to the USAAF. Also got this crusher, some sterling collar insignias, etc. Ops.. Have to add the picture of the crusher.
