Eagle & Anchor Button - Trash or Treasure??

[Tinman]

I can't seem to get a definitive answer from the what is it section on this button.
Hopefully the relic button guys can tell me if I have a modern Navy button.... or a common blazer button?

Thanks for the input.

Thats right Ivan...

I agree with you as indicated in the other post...

I would call it a "self-shanked" navy eagle styled blazer button.

No Marine will volunteer the info, but they are still part of the Navy now.
