Abt the size of a nickel, marked sterling on the back. Five inches at a late twenties house. Thanks for looking.

That is the insignia for the 14th Army Air Force, but whether a military D.I. or sweetheart/ patriotic type pin I'm not yet sure? Can we see the back?

Yeah, I'd say it's a WWII era distinctive unit insignia lapel pin for the 14th Army Air Force(s). It would have had blue enamel around the flying tiger. I think I can see what's likely a makers mark lower and to the right of the sterling mark.
