Age of this pin?

Coleminer713 · Jan 26, 2017

I found this rifle pin last year and I'm pretty sure it's military but don't know anything about it or how old it is? Could this possibly be civil war era? There was a fort about 10 miles away that dates from 1840's I think and they trained and sent troops to fight in the civil war. Any info would be appreciated!

Looks to be post WW2 US Infantry Collar pin.

See if this one matches yours. It is WWII.

Thanks. Its close but I don't think so, there are some slight differences between them, like mine has a little bridge between the two guns and it appears that something was attached to it right there

I should note that I found this at a parking lot tear out and pretty sure the pavement had been there before WWII....

It's WWII... the bar across the top between the rifles held a regimental number. You can still see the solder point on the right of the bar.

Cool, thanks for the help guys, appreciate it! That last one looks almost identical to mine. Was hoping it was a little older but WWII era is still pretty cool!
