Marksman Badge
Found this in Ohio over the weekend. Would this be from between the wars or possibly earlier? The rifles are likely an indication. All comments welcomed.

1901 volunteer regt best shot of sgts/warrant officers and lance sergeants is my guess, but start with that.

Garth,
The one you describe as Drab, is not . It is better than that, its a full dress/Walking Out Dress bullion version for a grey/light green uniform. Quite scarce in my years of collecting such things. regards
