Looks like a Hungarian or Austrian crown to me. That eagle? in the center of the wheel might give a clue.

The eagle has only one head and appears to the Imperial German type. The crown is the Imperial German crown. The crown and ribbon usually associated with the Navy. Could this be some type of naval rating?

ooh interesting , i see what you mean . Nothing like what we thought it might be . Anymore info greatly appreciated guyz . Its my friends badge he purchased on a hunch.

 

[Tony without Kaiser]

My references are still packed, but I believe that is a metal commemorative piece with added crown for the Eisenbahn Betriebsabteilung.

I believe Tony is spot on. Here is a picture of the automobile corps where you can see the insignia.
