Dug this on a old military ammunition depot. Dates back to early 1900's and possibly older. In the shield under the sabers is the number 8. Thanks for any help.

Upvote 8
it looks like cavalry sabers to me -- which are curved --8 would be the unit number as in.... the 8 th cavalry regiment which took part in the indain wars --for a while some were in nearby Oregon * from its small size I 'd say a cuff or collar or hat (side) button
