Was included in a lot, but it's initially what caught my eye to the lot on ebay. A cap device perhaps? It's about an inch tall and an inch and a half wide.

It looks very similar to the Army chevrons made in Korea, usually out of spent shell casings. This appears to be of the same thickness, cast, and maybe a similar material.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I agree that the USAF pin looks stamped as opposed to cast...I now change my opinion on these, lol.

I do beieve it is a cap device used on the fatigues in the early 50's.
