Oh no, I wouldn't attempt to remove it as I'd probably just make it worse. It's hard to tell from the low resolution photos, but those two look ...sort of bulky? lol, I'm not a collector obviously but I like this one better than those.

I took some photos of the miniature medal today- hopefully these show the details a bit better. I haven't been able to find any hallmarks. It's unfortunate about the safety pin that's been attached. I think this was done by soldering- not sure how much damage it will cause to remove it.

Thanks, yes, I'll go over it for any hallmarks carefully. The seller was listing it as a brooch, possibly fraternal or military. She didn't mention any hallmarks in the listing but perhaps she overlooked them.

Hey thank you! So I bought this today, came across it while looking online at vintage jewelry listings. I can take some better photos when it arrives in the mail.

Thanks everyone for your help. I definitely think the pin was added much later after the medal had been passed down a generation or two. Or perhaps ended up with someone who simply didn't understand the significance of it. I can't imagine wearing, say, a relative's WW2 Caterpillar Club pin, but that's because I know what it is. I can see someone thinking it was just a neat little vintage pin, especially before the internet.
