I can tpin down the exact timeframe, but for one that large it would have been a "hat device". oh, and the crossed sabers are the emblem of the cavalry.

I do believe it is a hat device. It is too large for a button and the brass disc is too thin to be a button. My thinking is around WW1 or earlier. But that is why I am here. I do not know and have been looking for years.

It's a collar disc also called collar brass, and as mentioned for a Cavalry unit.

Are you sure? The OP said it was 2 inches across. I've never seen any collar insignia that large.

Are there traces of red paint in the one handle? Also. they don't appear to be as detailed as some of the collar discs or hat badges I have seen. And, one last question, is it convex or flat?

It is convex. I have lots of Cavalry collar discs but not anything like this one. It must be a hat device. We will figure it out. Lots of knowledge on here.

There is some red enamel on the one saber guard. I have been collecting medals for years and never have had one like this one. I am guessing that the saber attachment on the back side had a pin clasp for fastening. The attachment has enough gap to show there is room for one.
