Howitzer. From when Infantry regiments had howitzer elements as part of their organization.

And right you are atb, should of known that, I was thinking it may have been some ROTC disc, HZ being the initials of a school.

 

Here a Gilt 20s one.

20s style collar disk but with flintlocks instead of bolt rifles. Interesting.

HZ could stand for headquarters zone.

Sure, it could, but Howitzer is what it is meant to be.

Because the flintlock design was adopted by the Army in 1924.

atb is right on the money. Absolutely howitzer.
