Looks like a Massachusetts Army National Guard collar disc to me. What throws me off is how shiny it is.

They used the MASS disc from 1917 to 1926, dont know if they used a variation of the same disc after that or not, it was used by the Mass Home/State Guard.

Finally found one online. Shows small raised letters on the back.

Then there's this replica that says repro on the back.

It seems the Germans last attacked Massachusetts in Sept, 2019



American Expeditionary Forces couldn't hold.
(reports state they lost their trenches, but no mention of buttons)



They were, however, able to regroup and insure Massachusetts remains a free state.
