With two tabs that bend on the back, wouldn't it be made for a custom uniform or hat ? Don't think the pins made with the bendable tabs pierced through material like those with the pointy-pin attachment thingy.
Has anyone seen this symbol anywhere?

There are a lot more belt buckles made with this particular shape. So this might be a belt buckle or a brooch.
I'd have to say it looks like a belt buckle.

Perhaps for an elf -lol- it's too small. The pieces on the back of it were not bendable (by hand anyways) & I wish I had photographed the back of it. I've done so many searches for it, ancient scripture, religious symbols, vehicle logos - I do think it's vehicle related, but idk why. Symbol/logo searches by description, Google images, E-bay, antiques sites...
Most people tend to agree that it looks familiar. Why?
I saw an actual fireball in the sky one night not long ago, & it was amazing. So lately I fancy it's a symbol of a meteor falling across a crescent moon.

LOL yeah I noticed the size after I posted that... I wish it was next to something so I could visualize the scale better!

Maybe it's an earring or cufflink.

Seiv, I did post a photo of a guitar pick. (Are they called feathers in the east? Perhaps ancient guitars were plucked with feathers...) However, the original photo on page 1 of the thread looks to be more of an emblem or crest perhaps.

perhaps!

If it's the size of an Elf's belt buckle, it could.
But so far no one has identified it with absolute certainty yet.

I concur. I've looked at hundreds of images, trying numerous descriptions in searching for this - can't find it. I've even showed the image to a friend that collects vintage pins, hat buttons and medallions, and he can't find it either.

In other news, I found this emblem when digging in my yard, along with some large plates of bone-like material. Any ideas?

That is definitely a Klingon emblem. Lots of pics on the net for this.In other news, I found this emblem when digging in my yard, along with some large plates of bone-like material. Any ideas?

After looking at the photo intensely for about 5 minutes it occurred to me why it looks so familiar to so many people. I think it is an old badge and/or logo for Concorde. Just looking at it, it looks most like a Concorde jet out of any aircraft. Here is a similar logo for Concorde: http://mach2.concorde.free.fr/logo_concorde.jpg
I haven't looked into this too deeply yet as I need to get some sleep but I really think that it is Concorde related. I think if someone were to search hard enough they might find more of these metal badges. To me it looks like a badge or label. It may even be a stylized Concorde souvenir. Perhaps even a commemorative badge or medallion?

That's the frustrating thing, about that 'badge' , there are quite a few designs that are similar ( close but no cigar type of thing ). I tried Soviet trinket's, Canadian emblems ( since I believe 13yearsnake lives in Canada - awesome photographs posted on Deviantart btw 13year ) , THEN thought... how do we know that the badge is facing the right way ?
I looked at Egyptian jeweler, Turkish jeweler, Epitome and Luna guitars and crescent moon shaped jeweler in general. No exact match. If this is a custom piece we may never find it's match. I wish I could see the back. By the description it may be a scarf tie clasp or slide. Does anyone else remember how the back of a Boy Scout neckerchief slide looked? Two bent tabs.
