Eddie,
It's a 1928 "Excellent Marksmanship" badge, and I believe it is a fake - the H&S, though distorted, is from a later variation of this badge, but the ribbon with text is from the very first issue of this badge. The tip of the barrel on all variations is longer than the tip of the star. If I could see better scans of the front and back, I will most likely find more problems.
