I'm getting close, I found a similar pin, WWII British Royal Army Service Corps. What sucks is there is no writing anywhere on your picture. The one I found has latin on it. Is there anything on the back or is it just where it pins in?

Edit*
here is where I am digging right now

The main issue I'm having is it's solid, most are made with a gap in between the center design and the star.

Where did you find this at? I usually go to antique shops and find items, got an old 2nd infantry patch there. Lucky find if it came out of a box of old items.

Old Friend left it by my house to look at , he knows I am into old military items, and now he moved and changed his number so...just thought I would see what it is.

Cool cool, I just got a few more spots I'm checking. Got a coworker looking into the item. His wife is into those types of artifacts.
Here's what I have so far...
--We identified the crown, it's not British (the British crown has 3 curved bars with gaps in-between holding up the cross, this one has more), it's Germanic (Romanian, French, Danish, or Norwegian) The cross is the giveaway that we found on that.
--The center is a flagged globe with a sword sash (holster) or crown, still getting that identified
-- The star pattern matches about 5-7 countries badge patterns which is why this is a pain. In each country there's like 5 regiments that have the pattern and I can't find 2 of the countries charts of them.

I'll keep digging. I saw on a few sites that there are books on these items. I hope someone on here has one of those books.
