Looking for help in identifying a military pin WWII vintage?

Bought a box lot from an estate of a gentleman who served in the U.S. Army 1943 – 1949

One pin is hard to identify.
It is made by N.S. Meyer Inc New York, NY Their logo on back dates it to the 1940’s

8 sided sterling silver pin is red enamel with a cannon (artillery piece) on the left and a lamp of knowledge (like a genie lamp) on the right
beneath cannon & lamp is a up & down stripe (inverted letter v or ^) that is black and white.

Can not seem to identify what the pin represents.
Thanks for your help
Richard

Send photo, please. I’ll run it past military collectors this weekend and get you a definitive answer.
