Dug this yesterday and I believe it's a naval button. It needs cleaned up but I was wondering if there is enough to ID it from this picture. The back is very crusty. Thanks!

Looks like a flying monkey to me.

If by crusty you mean rusted, than you for sure have a fashion, not a navy button.

Thanks for the replies. Here are some examples of Navy buttons that I've seen with the crude eagle that looks like a flying monkey. This one that I found may be styled after one of them if it's not real. ???
