I wonder if it was a bar brooch. The little loop at the bottom may have hade a jewel dangling from it.

At first glance it looked very German and I thought cap or lapel badge but I'm more in favour of the brooch.  Very nice find, can't beat a bit of silver and mystery.

There's loads on Google but this seems to show the fittings...
