Any info is appreciated. Thanks
 

Thanks. Very similar, but not exact. The one i found isnt marked and is 2-piece, the show side is a bit different also. Maybe more modern military?

Deadstill is right on, although the one he posted isn't exact he's still correct, WWII or maybe earlier, maybe a little later pilot's wings, these pins have many different styles, most were government issued..but many pilots after earning their wings had a set custom made by a jeweler or their sweetheart did as a present, and some pilots even had them made for their sweethearts to wear as well.

Here's one that is closer to the one you found but still not exact and it's one piece, I would think any that are 2 piece are most likely custom made, because the government isn't going to make them that way because they would tend to get broken more easily.

Here a link to photos of many different variations but I still didn't see one exactly like yours.
