It is an American DUI (Distinguishing Unit Insignia, or DI's for short) for a bomb unit it the USAAC. It has all the makings. I did collect DI's but have since sold off my collection and my reference book, but still feel certina that's what it is. They were worn on the lapel of the tunic. You can see them on a uniform here for a paratrooper one, but all branches of he army wore hemin he same place. I have one of my fathers.
