Unusual Early Artillery Officer BOS need help in identifying

[jmar]

Hello everyone!

 

I hope you are all well, happy and healthy. I'm back after a long hiatus in posting and I look forward to being a bit more regular in adding to the forum.

 

I recently picked up this odd piece to add to my collection, having an affinity for Arty and CAC insignia. Unfortunately I have no idea what it is. I've consulted Emerson's book where the closest match was on page 78, Fig 6-52, it having a painted center.

 

Perhaps a military academy?

 

This example is shown on a 1/2 inch grid. It is stamped and rather thin, with a painted center, I'm guessing that one of the "A's stands for Artillery.

 

Any information, or guesses will be most welcome.

 

Best wishes to all!

 

Joe
