✅ SOLVED Brass Insignia

[chrisdigs]

Found this thin copper or brass sheet, shape looks like a rope tension drum.
It measure's about 2" X 2"
What do you guys think

I think I see a few attachment remnants on the back, wonder if some sort of insignia for drum corps.....found a a CW site I suppose.

Thanks for the link. If it is CW period . I would think it would be a very rare find.
Also, I stated that it was made of copper but after closer investigation it seem to be brass.
Again, Thanks so much

Thanks for the research, again looks pretty similar, don't know if it would be British being found here in Tennessee but you never know. Thanks Again

In the article, the author says they contacted Charles Harris and inquired about the pin in his book on page 209 and he informed her that it was from a Federal encampment i... and as it is stated in the book's caption it was found in Dalton Ga. which is not terribly far from middle Tennessee.
