Yes. WW1. I have dug quite a few of these. Great find!

How can you tell it's age from picture?

It looks to me to still have the black finish on it which was used 1910-1923, so I think it could safely be considered WWI era..

Is there a backmark on it? How big, or small, is it? Can you post a picture of the front and back taken in natural daylight but not direct sunlight?
