Up for review is this CSA button with no maker's mark. Sorry for the poor pics...I've dropped this phone way too many times. Cheerz!

Naturally everyone hopes for the best when anyone presents an item here for inspection. Is it authentic or something less? Was it found resting in a natural or retail environment, and if the latter hopefully cost was indicative of value. "Do the homework" we tell ourselves, or be prepared to learn a costly lesson. That said, and with a chance of being ostracized by the kinder, gentler, and more understanding among us, when @uvcrelics drops the hammer I tend to laugh. Often a man of few words. "Post war reproduction" and BOOM, question answered. Hopefully with little collateral damage. Forgive what is hopefully not my better side.

I normally give an explanation with originals so folks can compare but being out of town at the Franklin CW show I'm on my iPad and don't have the resources. Sorry

Oh yes. Your posts in response are always so interesting, informative, and valuable, often in more ways than one. A highlight, even in brevity, each and every time. Safe travels.

I love brutal honesty! I bought this a couple of months ago, I'll ask for my money back...

Is it UCV era or Centennial?

Hard to say but the UCV had their own buttons and early on CS vets could not where csa items
