I'd say it's the top of a two piece button.

Doesn't look military. Probably was a two piece fashion button.

Not Military, may not be a button either.

Any ideas? Or at least what the symbol stands for?

It's a fancy looking anchor, could mean lots of civilian things (including a logo);

''security, stability, and being grounded.''

Whatdayagot, I found this example which looks almost spot on.

The anchor style and design look the same, but the example I found looks like a replica ? So, I guess back to square one. Sorry, I thought I had it.

It adds to the Civvy function of it.

I wouldn't say we have a full ID yet. The top of a fashion button at this point is only with 80-90% confidence. So it depends if that's enough to stop the search.
