Hey all, Naturegirl and i was mding in the my backyard today and dug this 9th Infantry Regiment badge/pin. It's a screwback. Maybe dates from the 1920s or 30s? This particular regiment has had a long military history and record of service. If anyone can add more info. Please feel free to do so.
The badge is 1"wide x 1"1/16th height. It is a dragon design with the number 9 and "Keep Up the Fire" motto.

Thanks all, for looking... It is an interesting find for me! Now i get to play "History Detective". I have found quite alot of info on the 9th Infantry Regiment online. It is a U.S. MILITARY badge/pin likely for hat/cap or uniform. The motto"Keep Up the Fire" and the Dragon motif have their origins in U.S. involvement in China during the "Boxer Rebellion" around 1889-1900.

What a fun and interesting find, Buckshot! Just makes you want to uncover more and more in your yard, huh?
I think that's what I like the most when I find something in my parents yard----looking for the history of the object and wondering about who lost it.
Can't wait to see what else you and Lisa uncover!!

Hey Carmon, As you allready know the history of our area is very interesting for sure and a person just never knows what intriguing artfact is going to surface. That's what keeps me listening for the "BEEP"!

Great find. When I was in the Army that was called a Unit Crest. Glad you are having a great time being a History Detective. The 9th Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division has a lot of great history behind it.
