Does it have brown paint on it? If so, that and the fact that the eagle is facing right dates it from May 14, 1941. And, if that is brown paint it would be a Navy Aviator button.

You didn't say if it has remnants of brown paint on it but I still believe it is a Navy Aviator button post 1941. Here are two excerpts from Albert's button Book.
