    Very nice finds. That confederate "I" button is sweet. It is in great shape.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your I button is not civil war. The button refered to as from Atlanta arsnal was a one piece cast I. The button pictured is two pieces. the backmark is not correct for a period button. A perion button would have an English backmark or a Richmond or even no backmark, but not a Union backmark. I also believe that backmark is much more modern than the civilwar.
