Another button

[Butler]

Found this awhile ago but never could put a date to it. The Infantry buttons I've seen similar to this just have the rifles and no vertical lines. Any ideas?

I believe its a WW1 1st Infantry, Company I Collar Disk.

 

[Joe-Dirt]

That’d be my guess

I concur also

I agree that it is an early collar disc. According to the following site it is a type 1 dating from 1910-1937.

The date range could be reduced further to 1910-1924 based on the weapons being Springfields rather than muskets.

So, safe to consider it WWI era.

NH,
I don't doubt your ID but could you explain to me the difference between the disc dating 1910-1924 and the one below it, on the site you linked to, that dates 1924-1937? I can't tell. Oh yeah, thanks for that link. I added it to my meager library.
