This pin is quite different than others I have seen. The eagle is zinc and the wing spread is 3-3/4". It has a pin and a tab on the reverse. Is this a hat pin or a tunic insignia? Who would have worn this type of pin? Thanks for your assistance in identifying this pin. R.W.

What does the back look like? If it has a long pin, I agree with Paul. If it has 2 or 3 pins I'd say Kriegsmarine pith helmet.
