Default 'Winged Bullet' badge

Hi,
Would appreciate comments on this item. Definitely has nothing to do with the early brass British Air Gunner badge, but it does depict a Winged Bullet. It is constructed in the round, a hollow closed nickel bullet with a die-struck gilt wing that swivels. For some reason, wing has an Italian look to me. I don't discount that there could have been 2 wings. Brooch pin fastener. Length 1 1/4". Personally I think it could be a Sweetheart item. once again, apologies for poor scan image. Rgds, GTB
