Hey all.... need some help with an ID of a button

[rjfjedi]

Hey everyone, I found this button yesterday. It looks like a Confederate Infantry button. I did a lot of research trying to find the maker and any info, but cant find anything. I found this at a local park here in New Jersey. If anyone here can help me out that would be sweet, thanks.

I could be off the mark but it could be a rein-actor's button ? Looks to be in GREAT shape ? Hope i'm wrong. cch

LOL Me to. But you could be right. It looks to have a nice patina and is in great shape. Either way it was a very cool find. I found a Confederate navy button in the begining of the summer that I know is real though.

theres quite a few of those buttons looking like that but you can get a better look to decipher which one it is GL

I cant seem to find the one that looks like mine on that site. all the backs are different then mine. None have the double circles on back, one does but the outside circle has dots not a constant line. Man, this is no easy....!!!

nice find. I found a similar looking button this year... mine must have been a reproduction as the back was magnetic... congrats on your find
