Hallo Mark
Welcome to the forum
Is your star similar to these?

If yes, it is simply a five-pointed star for the collar of an enlisted jacket. The couple for sale on that website has been misidentified for General’s rank stars because of their silver colour.
Another example, a fantasy item with the same star, fixed taking advantage of the hull’s front hole:

Sacconaghi was a metal working industry in Corbetta, near Milan.

The star in brass with bendable tabs is probably for the officer ranks on the shoulder straps. In this case it must be knurled and with hollow back side. With regards to the fixing system, it belongs probably to the Republican period. Just an example:
