Enlisted U.S. infantry collar disk

 

[smokeythecat]

WWi period, the collar disc designation is correct.

WWI? I dunno', the picture is blurry but I'd have guessed WWII at the oldest based on construction. Would have to see the back to be more accurate: Dating Metallic Insignia: Collar Disks
The weapons appear to be muskets rather than Springfields, which were on the WWI era: http://hglanham.tripod.com/usinfantry/infantry1.html

Welcome to the site. Crossed rifles indicates infantry. The age of the collar insignia I cannot say. You should be able to find out online. The moderator may move your post to a different forum. This will be good as more relic hunters will see it there and can probably help you out more.

photos at least of front and back please is the standard on this forum for proper identification

WHAT DOES THE BACK LOOK LIKE?
I WILL SAY POSSIBLE WW I COLLAR DISC - ARMY
BUT CAN BE USED INTO WW II - SEEING THE BACK MIGHT HELP
THOSE ARE COLLECTIBLE - THOUGH THAT STYLE IS SOME WHAT COMMON - FOR BACK THEN

... ALSO HELPS IF YOU FOUND ANY COINS OR OTHER OLDER ITEMS IN THE SAME AREA
I FIND THOSE FROM WW I TRAINING CAMP FROM THE LATE 1890S TO AROUND THE 1920S
I FIND 1900S DATED INDIAN PENNIES AND BARBER IN THE AREA - WHICH MAKES SENSE
AND SUPPORTS THE DATE OF OTHER FINDS

1st - I noticed this was your very first post kirkham - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - I merged both of your threads (had them in different subforums) into one so you don't have two threads covering the same request for information.
