Can anyone ID this device.

It appears to be an unissued breast "eagle" of some sort. It is not curved but straight.

The pins on the back seem very neatly folded which is why I think it might be unissued. There is no wear of any kind.

It is from stamped tin and very light. No markings I can see.

Thanks
Dave

Fantastic and ... thanks.

20 years ago it would have taken 10 years to figure this out. The Internet is great.

Anybody have an idea of value ?

Thanks
Dave

If you had the complete set ( two collar tabs) I would give $125 for them. (Damn Rare)!!
