Description
This listing photo shows the authentic reverse (back) side of the vintage World War I United States Army 10th Infantry Regiment brass uniform collar disk. This view shows the highly desirable original screw-back fastening system, featuring its authentic circular brass thumb nut screwed onto the threaded center post. Seeing the rear construction is a crucial detail step for military insignia collectors, as this thick, flat-faced thumb nut design is completely classic to the Great War era. It provides clear physical evidence that the item is a genuine vintage uniform piece rather than a modern reproduction or a later WWII-era pin-back variant.
Condition
- Overall Rating: Vintage – Very Good Used Condition (Rear View)
- Thread Quality: The original threaded post is straight and securely anchored to the main base disk face.
- Fastener Mechanics: The brass thumb nut remains free-moving, screws smoothly onto the central post threads, and locks down securely.
- Surface Wear: Displays an honest, natural aged brass patina with deep tarnish and natural storage darkening across the recessed flat base plate. There is no modern repair solder or metal rot.
Item History
- Origin: Produced by authorized government contractors for issue to enlisted US infantrymen heading overseas to the European theater during the First World War.
- Background: During the World War I mobilization, the US military utilized heavy brass screw-back posts for their collar disks to ensure the insignia stayed locked onto the thick wool service coat collars during active field maneuvers. Because these loose circular thumb nuts were easily dropped or lost during field maintenance, finding an original 1917-1918 specimen that still retains its authentic period-matched brass backing nut is highly prized by militaria collectors.
