I believe this to be for a uniform. Cap or cross belt. I have not seen it in pictures nor am I sure what period it is from.
Any thoughts?

It is a shiny silver domed oval, the scanner lights make it appear odd.

Nah, not dead. See the views are already way up.

Joe,never seen this before. My first thought was also Mining hat badge. i couldn't find anything but while looking I did notice that the crossed hammer and pick have been found on NS-Hago (handicraft) type tinnies.

Raymond, thanks for looking.

I saw a drawing in a period catalog or a reprint of one. Will have to backtrack to see what it was listed as.

Listed under Bergbau. Number 22511 in the F.W. Assmann & Sohne catalog. Image and description.
