The inscription is French for "From the Sea, From the Land". Probably a service pin of recognition to a sailor or sea captian.

"Per mare per terra" is the slogan of the Royal Marines. It means "by sea, by land", and is in Latin.
---Little Latin lesson---
per - for
mare - sea
terra - land

It is Latin for 'By sea, by land' and is the motto of the Donald family.
It's possible what you have it a 'clan badge' though without seeing it, no one can tell.
Does it have a crest on it?
