I would say it was a medal. The two holes on the bottom probably held another piece to it.

It appears to be a army sharpshooter badge....there are several different items that can be attached to it. Do a search on the same name to find it.

Good find,

It certainly is an Army Sharpshooters Badge and it's an older one because of the Sterling content.

the first one is a sharpshooters badge, fairly old with the pin back like that. there are little pieces that hang under it with different weapons on them. pistol, rifle, grenade etc.....

Army marksman badge.The bar that is missing would say expert or sharpshooter.
