Confederate Button - Variant

[Tom Hughes]

I wanted to put this out on this thread because I'm hoping someone can give me more insight into this button.
I found this button in Raymond, MS along with other civil war relics. As you can see, it was folded over (the back is missing) and it's not in the best condition. However, I've been told that it appears to be a variant of a Confederate officers button.
Variant buttons, I'm told, were ordered for specific units according to the customer's design specifications.
Regardless, I thought it was interesting and wanted to throw this out to the CWT group for any discussion or knowledge or positive i.d. on this one.

Looks to be a local, somewhat resembling, Albert's CS 26A; great find.

It is indeed a local as it has no stars around the edge. 98.5% of all CS Staff Officers buttons had stars. 99.9% of all local made CS Staff Officers buttons did NOT have stars. Its a rare one.
