Blind Squirrel was right on when ID'ing my find. With the small amount of research I performed I found the great seal was first used in 1903. Your find looks like it might have some clues on the back after you clean it a little.

I could not find anything that looked similar on google images. It must not be military medal. Still cool though. Throw it in the cool junk drawer.

Hat brass or rosette?

Texas Ted--

I saw your reply to Chainsmokers post before this one.

Mine is a little different from yours. It's probably a variation in design. Here is a scan of mine and a WW1 soldier with the insignia on his cap. Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!

That makes sense, I bet that's what it is. Thanks.
