    What kind of metal is it? Can we see a pic of the backside please? Could it be broke off a toy soldier?
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    I'm with BCH in thinking it is a miniature piece for diorama and/or display that is similar to these:

    I suspect that its a veteran's pin. Likely G.A.R. Similar to these.
