    Need button ID expertise...

    My brother found this today at a location that wouldn't normally produce CW relics. It appears to be a CW button to our untrained eyes, but I need your input to confirm.

    Thanks all!

    Tice dates the backmark only as "20th century," and buttons of this type were replaced in 1902.
    Forgotten but not gone.

    Cool! Thanks for the help.

    There was some 1860's era military training in that area, so thought we might have gotten lucky.
