    Button ID--Military?

    Need help IDing this button.
    It looks like maybe an anchor so I am hoping it is military related. The backmark says Calcutta I think.
    Found today at an 1800s site. TIA- Merf

    Thanks Iron Patch and PBK
    I have to wonder how an Indian Navy button got to an old farmstead in Northern Illinois.
    Maybe was a souvenir.
