Ha Ha very, very funny.

I put this on the "what is it" forum and they say:

Iron cross - WWII
Nazi badge
Masonic badge
Army sharpshooter badge

Also, the one on the right is a new quarter, worth 25 cents.

I don't think it is a sharpshooter medal. I have in my collection one of them and they have detailed stamping on the face and the slits are cut considerable farther in towards the center.

It's a Chinese toothpick or maybe one of those doohickeys they used to set the points on old cars or maybe the blade from a Flapper's Art Deco underarm shaver or maybe I don't know. :-\

Looks like a medal, where the side with no gold is ,it may have had a plate attached that said what it was for and most likely that was attached to a ribbon pin.I think the plate and ribbon went home with the guy and this fell free from its connector.I like the sharpshooter idea with the bullseye in the center and I have seen similiar ones.

Thought as a group we said it's NOT a German Iron Cross, Army Sharpshooter or Nazi badge. Leaving . . . ?
