I quite like the acorn motif at the top.
There seems to be a number of organizations that are called "Daughters of something".

I've seen this before too. The DAC are ladies descended from American settlers who arrived prior to about 1700 (don't quote me just yet on that..... need to cross-check that fact.)
Bummer that their insignia was on Ebay. DAR, DAC, etc, etc all have the same rules about their insignia that GLOs do: Thou Shalt Not Let Thy Insignia Go to a Pawn Shop or on Ebay. Upon Thy Demise, Thy Insignia and Thy Service Pins Shalt Be Returned to National.
