It's a collar disc identifying the wearer as a member of Co. "C" of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Regiment, ca. WWI; welcome to the forums!

World War One era, but different. One disc usually was a "US" over regiment number. The troop letter under in this case crossed Cavalry sabers (branch). In this case it is the 1st Cav. It is called a type 1 collar disc. Type 2 discs would only have the
troop letter under the sabers.
