Military Pin What is it?

The boy scouts use a Fleur de Lis. Could the other graphic be a bugle?

 

Hi,
Looks like a Rams head.

Interestingly, here's a Miriam Haskell pin with the same charges.

And here's a variation on yours from Etsy. Think it might be decorative.

That one looks newer, the back and the size plus the fluer de lis don't match

 

It's also better quality.

Following is a link to an Etsy page selling quantities of these, like the OP's with 3 prongs. The seller says:

"These are from the 60's when my mom had a craft shop."

Hi, Kingjoker -

I'm going to agree with Debora: yours is purely decorative, what crafters sometimes call "findings".

There's an Etsy seller offering a bag of FORTY like yours for $2 + S&H. That seller says they're from the 1960's, but I think they're much newer. I bought a bag of very similar, tho not identical, bits less than 10 years ago to decorate the corners of a print I was framing for someone. They were made in China and were very cheap, tho nicely decorative.


edited to add: Susan, that's the listing I saw, too!

 

Sometimes these were used on purses or shoes.
