Dug the attached plate 27mm x 22mm. Fleur-d-li, 2 cannons, and the cactus makes me think Mexican American war but I can't find any info. Anyone know if this is part of a military service award? Peace Roy

Could it be this??
Shield: The shield is red for Artillery. On the gold bend are the two old gatling guns recalling the old gatling gun companies. The cactus recalls the service on the Mexican border and the fleur-de-lis the service in France.
