Historische Context 
The crossed cannons have long served as a visual symbol of American artillery. Officers wore branch insignia to show their service branch or specialty, and the crossed cannons motif has been associated with U.S. Army artillery since the 19th century. Officer branch insignia were worn as separate metal devices, unlike certain enlisted versions that appeared on a backing disk. The motif shown on this item aligns with the traditional Field Artillery symbol in U.S. Army insignia history.
