    Hello , This looks like U.S. to me, or isn't it? I think it's WW2 . Who can help me to identify this.

    That's a post WW2 US Airforce First Sergeant/ Master Sergeant E-7 (?) shoulder insignia I am thinking c. 1950 something. That insignia is no longer in use. They Dropped the 3 bottom rockers and started placing a chevron over the top in the mid 50's.
