Found this one today, still has a lot of gilt on it. Can't find any info about Gray Guards on google or yahoo. Anybody have any idea? thanks & hh.

neal, UT
 
I can tell you its a post civil war backmark, but not by much.. made in later 1860's... they only list a PA national Guard as having that, but its not yours... so yours is either a local militia, or some national guard unit, or maybe even some fraternal orginization... might be in alberts but without a state would be hard to find... maybe someone knows off hand
 
Good button Neal,

Here's what Alberts book shows, Same button as yours.

Pennsylvania, 8th Regiment National Guard; Staff.
A. The figure 8 within a laurel wreath, GRAY above, GUARDS below. (Company E 8th Regiment Pennsylvania National Guard of Germantown, 1870) "Waterbury Con.". RV 8

Note: For a detailed account of the Gray Guards, Company E, 8th Regiment, N. G.P., see The National BUTTON BULLETIN, January, 1958.

Congrats, Paul (Ca)
