Sorry if I left out any important info

Welcome Andy and Stacy! (modified post, as posts were made while I typed) The pattern is known as "The Great Seal of The United States". This pattern was adopted by the military in (roughly) 1904, still used today. U.S.Army hat device. Any markings on back?

 

[AndynStacy]

There are no special markings on the back.

PS: My wife was pleased to see where you are from. She was born and raised in Dover.

If not at least I have learned something today.

Ben's right, of course: it's an officer's cap device. Army, gold/brass finish; Air Force, silver finish.
