That's a cool find! I would guess Japanese Navy, but I couldn't find another one like it on google.

HH!

Rob,
I'd start looking up USMC medals. We are used to seeing the anchor through a globe, but originally I think it was just an anchor like that. Here is an example of a Civil War Era USMC medal I found online. Yours is definitely later, but I couldn't find any match.

I'd say its navy medal for sure ( the fouled anchor - is used by many navy's) -- but the us navy does not use "downward" stripes nor does it use a "star" -- as far as i know -- it might be a japanese naval medal (taken off / from a japanese sailor) during WW2 and brought home as a "war rememberance item"by a US combat soldier and later on lost by his kids or grand kids playing with it --or --" buried " by him in a fit of remorse later on.

humm with the "star" it could be russian --although they normally use a "red star"--with the star being golden thinking asain -- related --most likely japanese.

This looks like the kind of pin that was attached to a ribbon. I'd look for a presentation medal of some sort.
I agree that the star looks kinda Russian.

Hope this helps
