Pair of Enamel and Gilt Military-Style Insignia

This item consists of a pair of identical, small, decorative insignia, likely lapel pins or earrings given their design and visible attachments. Each piece is circular or star-shaped, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and appears to be constructed from a gold-toned metal, possibly brass or gilt. The central design of each insignia features what looks like a stylized military or heraldic motif, with a helmeted figure, possibly a knight or a Roman soldier, flanked by what could be weapons or branches. This central motif is raised and three-dimensional, exhibiting fine detailing. Surrounding this central element is a sunburst or starburst pattern, characterized by alternating segments of white and dark blue enamel. The white segments are pointed and slightly wider, while the blue segments are narrower and fill the spaces between the white points. The enamel appears to be in good condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age, such as slight tarnishing or minor scratching on the metal surfaces, but no significant chips or cracks are discernable in the enamel. One of the pieces clearly shows an attachment loop, suggesting it could be a pendant, charm, or part of an earring. The other piece, while similar, shows a thinner, possibly broken or bent attachment, or it might be designed as a pin with a missing backing. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear definition in the metalwork and crisp separation between the enameled sections. The style suggests a military decoration or a fraternal organization's emblem, dating possibly from the early to mid-20th century. While no specific maker's marks are visible from the provided image, the detailed central figure and multi-part construction indicate a manufactured item rather than a handmade one.
