Submissions for Revolutionary War Button and Plate Book-closing soon!

[vonrall]

Guys, We are nearing the end of preparing the expanded update for "Military Buttons of the American Revolution" which will now include beltplates, regimental buttons , hatbadges, cartridgebox badges and other military ornaments from 1750-1784. British, American, Loyalist, French, German. If you have the book we need anything you have that is not in the present volume. This will be a great book doubling the size of the original and adding over 150 Revolutionary War plates, many never berfore published, also incredible portraits and new reference information!

Please keep in mind we don't need anything after 1784 , so if you know for sure your items are after that date please don't send us pictures of them. Also no political or civilian buttons, etc. Please submit clear sharp digital pictures, as high res as possible and preferably against a smooth white background . Front and back of each item, how you would like to be credited , the size in mm. and where is was found (without of course giving away your site). Last chance to get YOUR great finds in the definitive reference work! Photos of old finds you may no longer own are fine also.

Thanks to all those who have generously shared their great finds with us , who have made this book possible.

You can email me directly at : chainshot@aol.com.

Regards

Don Troiani

The book is at the publisher but we can still take submissions probably for about the next 60 days and just forward them to the editor. So..........there's still time for last minute additions.
