What kind of Pendant ?

[jasper62]

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of Pendant but I don't recognize the symbol.It's marked Sterling on the reverse and was found in the front yard of an old farm house that was built in the teen's or 20's
Any help Appreciated

iron cross type award medal -WW1 or WW 2 german transportation or engineering is my guess. --***** my bad thought german too fast due to iron cross look -- us military .

Ive seen it before. I think my Dad has one.
Im going to take a very wild guess and say WWII sharpshooter.
My Dad has several of those shaped medals hooked together.
He was US Army.

Not sharpshooter. Its US Army driver. Its upside down.

if you found that there might be some old silver round there -- WW2 and 50's is silver coinage era all the way thru 64 the halfs, quarters, and dimes are 90% silver --from 65 to 70 only the halfs have any silver in em -- 40%
