My first guess is to look up Turkish badges 1915 onwards

One of the WWII German awards to eastern folk?

Then again the wording says "Servace" (or similar) Army Corps"

But probably a bazaar made copy, not an issue badge. The quality is deplorable, even by the standards of some of the official PA stuff I've seen. IMHO.

There are two versions of the badge, one with a wide outer circle and large lettering, the other being the badge in the opening post with narrow outer circle and much smaller lettering. The latter version was only worn by officers and was apparently only made in silver. It looks a bit rough for an officers' badge but try testing it for silver anyway, you might be surprised.
