Very nice indeed, it appears to be a wartime brooch, these certainly were worn, on occasion by soldiers and your photograph is another that confirms this beyond doubt.
Does it have a crude sheet metal catch/hook and hinge with the pin bent into a triangular shape through it?

A member of Dutch detachment 2ndSAS is seen wearing it above his right breast pocket. I also heard some Belgian 5thSAS may have worn them.

Cheers
