Marine pin/button. Does the back look like it has been repaired? Do you think there would be markings underneath on the backside? Found this little guy about seven inches down at a house that was built in 1850. Does anyone have an idea of its age? Thanks

Thanks Rich. Since the initial post I discovered that what I found is an Honorable Discharge pin. The letters ORABLE are visible at the 7:00 position. Pretty sure now it's WW1. Finer example attached.
