Odd badge you have there Destro perhaps a school or collage badge.

Let's hope someone will recognise it.

What are the fittings on the back? It looks like an incomplete US Army cap badge; possible a sweetheart type?

The eagle has the remains of the motto scroll in it's beak so the badge has obviously been cut down at some point. Given the lack of tail feathers as well it looks a case of severe mutilation to me!!.
