Here you go, nice find by the way...
Large WW2 U.S. Army Officer Visor Hat Insignia , Unique Size
OffCapEagleLarge1var.JPG (66614 bytes) 1UMI-3. 2-1/2-inch wide x 2-3/4-inch high, oversize, very nicely detailed, gilt brass, WW2 Army officer visor hat insignia. Light signs of age; some of the gilt still remains; however, most of the gilt is worn or missing from age, leaving a bright, but very slightly tarnished brass base metal. The backside has a screw post with a brass, knurled edge, nut and a stabilizing pin behind each wing and is marked, “Acid Test, Gemsco.” Because U.S. officers were required to purchase their own clothing and insignia and because of the many different insignia manufacturers, there were numerous distinct variations of this particular insignia. A perfect piece to compliment a WW2 Army or Army Air Force officer visor hat. The eagle looks dramatically better in person than in the image. UNIQUE SIZE. Vg+. $30.00

US Air Force Officer's Hat Pin - at that size something else of course, but that IS what the pin represents...
