Nice pre war 1850’s civilian button. Fronts are usually blank but can sometimes have floral patterns etc... mostly likely a solider was wearing it but impossible to prove. Looks like the shank is in great shape! Awesome find!
I like the flat button. It seems to be in great shape and intact. A great find. You definitely dig in the right places. Thanks for posting @Duane Pringle. Keep up the good work.
Yea my son dug that at our confederate camp first one like that hoping to get out next weekend the rain is finally stopping should be good digging next weekend.
Yes, please keep us posted, to get more info on the backmarks, you might try sprinkling a little talcum or baby power and wipe off with finger. Looks to be an import but cannot be sure.
