US Army Marksman badge. The eyes are to hook on a clasp showing the type of weapon.

I agree It is the US Marksman badge . The pic is flipped vertically. The two small eyelets should be at the bottom because there were attached small bars with names of skills like these below for instance.. Up to 1945 these were signed with "Sterling" on the back and the buckle was of a safety-pin type . Later the signation was "NS Meyer New York" and the fastening was the one seen in your picture..

It is not the expert badge. It is the Marksman Badge. The expert has a wreath around it. I can take pic of mine from my uniform later.

There are 3 levels.

Marksman
Sharpshooter
Expert
