A button (I think) from today

[Korban]

I found this button it has an Eagle on it, but it has a strange rim around the outside. Nothing o
n the back. If it was a button it has no back as of now.

Any thoughts?

Hi Korban

That is big button... looks like it might fit over something like a guidon.

Nice find and thanks for sharing it with us.

Hopefully someone will recognize what it is and give you a lead

That is a neat find. Someone will identify for you I'm sure. Probably PBK. He's the man! 8)

It's a great find. I think it's a collar button, modern I think. Doesn't have a back to it.

It resembles a general staff button that I dug last year. They were worn by union officers in the civil war.
Its a high convex button and has just lost the back. Heres the one I found. 8)
