[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 98806, member: 44"]According to the following website it is an Officer and Chief Warrant Officer Cap Insignia. "This device is worn on the combination cap and a one-half size miniature version is worn on the garrison cap." It says "in 1941 the eagle was changed to face to the right; to the wearer’s sword arm." As yours is facing to the "wearer's right" yours would date after 1941. "Two gold colored crossed fouled anchors with burnished silver colored shield surmounted by a burnished silver spread eagle.."
