    It's a U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, introduced in 1902 and still in use.
    Forgotten but not gone.

    Hi Red,

    Sorry about the button not being civil war when I saw the picture.... just looked like one to me... thats why I am in South Africa and not America But that poor doll is still very much wounded.

    God bless
