That Republic of Texas Navy button is a phenomenal find!
The NST CW Price Guide pegs it at $1,000+.

The Texas Navy button date is 1837 to 1838. I have found six Navy buttons, one Texas Marine Corp., and one Republic of Texas Army Staff button. Its a real thrill to find such. They are not for sale.....
