First Bi-metallic token, V nick, plus please help with I'D of a badge?

Hi all,
Got out to my oldie spot. Found V # 8 on the year (1902), found what I thought looked like a Large cent, but range up like 12-32. It had a big corroded rusty tumor in the middle on both sides. I could not tell if it was a coin, a token or a button. I cleaned it a little and saw writing on both edges. rubbed more and saw "Woodlawn Cafe" -- a token. When I got home I looked it up and saw it was bi-metallic from online picture. Obviously the inner metal acted like a sacrificial cathode (or is that anode) and got toasted. I decided to knock that out so my token is a ring. I'll include photo from on line of what it would have looked like in the day.
Then I found this shield thing. Me thinks it's either something Swedish, a military insignia, or a Swedish military insignia. It has some gold plating (very little) left on it. Help identifying from anyone in the know?

My finds:

Three crowns pin in that configuration is consistant with the sign of the Swedish Air Force and the Coat of Arms of the Lordship of Ireland.

I'm guessing that since it is a 3 point crown, it's probably Swedish. What I've seen of Ireland (S.W. province flag (Munster)) is a 5 point crown in that configuration. I also am guessing that knowing the history of where I found this, it pre-dates the Swedish Air Force. Too bad there is no writing on the back of this...

"3 crowns" were also shown on Swedish stamps at least 100 years ago.
