Confederate script R buttons.

Wel

Hello from Kentucky! New member here. A friend suggested this Civil War site. Very nice indeed!

I was researching a couple of buttons and need some assistance.

I was able to identify the gilt button as: Alberts CS 222 Rifleman, page 378. It states that Pitt & Co. were not known to make buttons for the Confederacy. If this is the case, who did they make this button for?

I am unable to identify the silver toned button. Appears to be a Rifleman, two piece, made by Scovill, Waterbury?

Thanks for letting me know about this site. I promise I won't tell my wife.

Keep the lights out and the doors locked!
