Looking for ID help. Military?

This suspender clasp was dug in an 1860's ghost town. It was near where I found the general staff button with an "Extra Quality" backmark. The shield and stars make me curious. Anyone ever seen this one before?

There is a wide variety of pressed suspenders clips many with patriotic themes which I don’t believe have any military connection..cool find... the type I’m referencing were made in late 1800 s till early 1900s..
 
At the least it's very patriotic with the Union shield. Might examine the the back for patent date or Mfg. name.

Checked the back after a little cleaning & can't find any markings. I've looked at some early cavalry/infantry suspender clasps online and they are much more utilitarian. Patriotic seems like the right category, thanks!
