Unidentified Unidentified badge

Gentlemen,

 

does anyone have any clues as to what this badge is?

I've had it for years but have no idea what it is...looks like a cast, no marks or anything similar. Judging by the back of the badge it appears it was sewn to something at one stage

 

Your expertise would be appreciated

Hi Andrej,

Looks like Russian Empire era, Church badge or something, I am not into Russian Empire items, but the eagle is that.

 

It's cast indeed, someone of our Russian friends or  Dragomir that collects Orthodox Church items, might better enlight us.

Thanks Emanuel, yes, the eagle does look Russian...it doesn't have anything in his talons though- like a scepter or the orb
