Jarhead button

Im thinking this is from ww2. It was about 3 inches deep and found durring the holidays in TN. Does anyone know? It would help for display in the museum.

Looks like a snap or braded piece that would go on a web belt or canteen cover to me? Monty

Either the snap or a rivet.. nice find tho.. Don't see those every day!

It looks like the buttons that were attached to the USMC "Dungaree" Field Uniforms. They were riveted on.

These were worn on the p-41 and p-44 HBT utility uniform AKA: Dungaree's. These uniforms were worn in WWII and Korea and several years after.
