Looks like some sort of medical insignia?

It's a WWI period insignia from a medics bag. I dug one myself a while back and didn't know what it was but a relic dealer I know had a whole bag in his shop. I think those are fairly rare

The corner rivets suggest that it was attached to leather. I believe it was part of a medical officers surgical instrument satchel.
Tha't my best uneducated guess.

Awww...vayank54 beat me to the punch! Great minds think alike, eh?
