Light Artillery Button

[secondstar]

Good evening, a quick after work hunt netted three cuff links, a wheat penny, and what appears to be a light artillery button.





I don’t know much about buttons, but the LA 1 is distinct. A quick Google search has me leaning towards Civil War, but I welcome all suggestions. Good luck and happy hunting!

I await an ID, as I don't have the right books but the button looks Pre-CW to me.

I agree, just looked it up. We haven't found anything that old on this site up until now...
