Need help identifying this pin/badge i found.

Hi all,

I could use some help, i found this last year, and posted with my other finds from the day. It appears to be a pin/badge with a "V" in the center. I found in an area of an old 1 room school, this site has also produced, barber dimes, fishscale nickel, indian head penny's, large cents. Also further up the hill i found an 1863 spencer rifle cartridge. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Pics attached. Happy Dirt Fishing.

V for Victory?

Looks like the back is recessed, perhaps it had a colored insert at one time?

V for Victory?

Or it could be "V" for Victoria or any other name that starts with a V. Breezie

i see an arrow pointing to the V

I like all the ideas so far
Could it be an arrow 'on' a mailing envelope, maybe indicating a Postal Service
The sort of thing seen here and further pages on the link.

It looks like it definitely had something like Blacksheep says.

V for Victory?

I think V for Victory is a safe bet. Could be WWI. Probably WWII when victory/patriotic jewelry was most popular.

that's a great grouping of V memoribilia.

Thanks to everyone that has responded thus far, i am thinking its some type of "V" for victory pin as well. I wish it had some markings or something on it but it doesnt. I'll keep trying to find out what it is. Thanks! & Happy Dirt Fishing!
