Regiment of Riflemen Button +

[gforce1972]

Two days of hunting in VA. Bunch of cw bullets including two with swage bases. I think the one small solid bullet is a Miss. rifle slug. The button is a Regiment of Riflemen’s button (1808-1821).

Always love the old lead but, that button is TOP SHELF relic stuff for sure. Very nice recovery on that scarce button. Well done.

Congrats on the Regiment of Rifles button. I love those early one piece military buttons. They have so much more character than the later generic eagle with a letter on his chest buttons.
