    I agree that it is a Pennsylvania National Guard collar disk.

    However, the diamond/crosshatched background identifies it as a Type II disk, used from about 1926 to 1937. So, it's post-WWI.

    Not sure about the variety, but I think it's the one with tiny acorns inside the diamonds. There are also some with shields or dots in the diamonds.
    Forgotten but not gone.
