They had a surplus on those buttons so the state of Virginia bought them and issued to their militia units. I have one that came from a campsite of the 57th Va Inf. The unit that 2 of my family members fought with in the Civil War I pretend one of them dropped it and that's why I found it.

Mine came from a house site here in NC. Never know what group it came from. Thanks for the information.
