I found two buttons yesterday very similar to this one.
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,52216.0.html
Unfortunately my camera charger is MIA, so I will do my best to describe them.
One is definately an artillary button circa CW. It is two piece with the back missing, and the front bent up but very IDable. The second is more like the one in the above link, but it is only IDable as military, (ie has the eagle with the head facing to the 9:00 side). It is one piece, about the size of a pinky nail, still has the shank but it is bent down and overall is pretty worn. The eagle is more worn toward the bottom and the shield is worn enough that if there were a letter on it, it can't be read. The eagle appears though it has one or two feathers sticking out the top of its head toward the 3:00 side. Any ideas on a market value? If they are worth some scratch is anyone looking to buy?
