I found one like it on a web site.said it was coast guard
I was reading the A is for artillery.
I just found one eBay.ww1 coast artillery marksman A silver badge.
It is indeed a military badge: called the "Marksman A" and was a RIFLE qualification badge used by the Coast Artillery, after qualifying on the A Course (geared toward long range shooting as would be expected by Coast Artillery soldiers). It was used in the first quarter of the 20th century.
