WW1 Button

[Rich in Houston]

Can anyone tell me about this button? I know it's a WW1 but what does the (131) (G) mean ?

Thanks

Hey Rich,

Its a collar device for WWI. The crossed rifles indicate Infantry, the numbers are the regiment number and the letter is the company. Nice find!

Great find, Rich. I've found 2 WWI buttons with American Eagle on it, but never one like that.

A keeper for sure

this is a ww1 collar disc which was worn on the collar. it should have the screw stud on the back. If it's not broken. some of these can be very valuable depending which regiment you have. some have tanks.and machine guns on them. nice !jeff
