Eagle w/spear, no shield

[Deft Tones]

This is some kind of eagle, or bird with no shield, clutching a single spear, and some type of leaves with possible cloth, or banner behind them located on the right.

Found in a farm field central Iowa near an oxbow. Overall dimensions 1-1/2" wide, 3/4" inch height. Appears to be thin copper and is embossed. No marks found otherwise. Was bent tri-folded when found and does not appear to be broken from a larger object. Just a toothbrush/water scrub only until I know more. Thank you for any direction you may be able to provide.

I have seen something similar but as I am suffering from old timers disease I can't remember where?

I think the spear may be flag pole with a flag bunched up with it? Seems familiar

Hat Badge?

Sounds like someone tore it off their uniform and crumpled and tossed it, to hide their identity or affiliation. There were lots of rogue units roaming around during and after the C.W. burning and pillaging.
