Interesting button................

[Fred (S. Indiana)]

Found this after work today at an 1860's home site (demolition) I am vaguely familiar with military/civil war buttons, and I am inclined to think this could be both, who are the experts here, no use showing the back, it has thick encrustation, any input would be generously appreciated...........fred
