Default Anyone seen one like this before?

I found this tank pin yesterday. It has "Tank Corps" on the front and "Sterling" on the back. Sadly there is no assey mark so I am unable to date it. Has anyone seen one before? Any information would be very helpful.

Regards
Brett

Thanks Tom,

I can see the resemblance to the American armored badge but this badge is too small to be a collar dog I think. Its smaller than a pound coin.

Just a pleasing example of a Sweetheart brooch. Nice though!
