I Think Post Civil War Late 1880s and WW1 with casting and type pin/ hook on back , Civil War at ID Pins/ Badges where crude and thin wire and not cast is 2 pieces on back for Hook. It still great finds anyway

Fantasy piece, definitely not of CW period construction.

Heavy metal, believe it is silver!!

Like Chuck said, it has a more modern construction than CW, War Dept was around until the mid 1900's. Silver is nice.

I agree. Not civil war but still a neat find.
