    Screwback Pin - SOLVED

    Screw Back pin similar to a Quartermaster?, but the key and sword are reversed. Looks like its copper, and the size of a quarter. Found at about 8" deep in my yard while learning my X-terra 70 today. I can't find anything exactly like it or close on the net. No markings or dates when it was made on the back either that I can find.

    Looks like a Type I WWI period Quartermaster Corps collar disk. There are a number of varieties, including some with the key and sword reversed, and also with the eagle looking in the opposite direction.
