Cap Badge?

[jhamner]

I found this old eagle device in a local junk store today. They occasionally get in really old things, so I was hoping this might be Civil War, but it's probably more likely from a more recent military school. It has attachments on the back like a hat or cap ornament, but I'm not really sure what it is or how old. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Looks really cool regardless of what year it's from! Any cool find from a junk store is a win in my book!

I really appreciate your comments! Wish I could "camp out" at that shop all the time--they get some really good items from time to time. Thanks again!

I have no real knowledge on this at all, but it has a pretty modern look to it. Nice piece though, and will look good in your collection.

Thanks, David............I agree, it looks pretty new. In fact, it appears unused. I wish I could nail it down to a specific time period, but no luck so far! Maybe someone will come to the rescue!
