It would be very helpful if you could provide the "letters" on both sides. As you know - your photograph is out-of-focus. Very difficult to search on letters when they are blurry...

No help here but they sure are in good condition for dug buttons congrats

I am no expert, but I have not seen any that looked anywhere near that good.

Are they reproductions?

I was thinking the same thing. Mr. Magoo, are there any CW battle re-enactments that you know of in that area?

 

[SCdigger]

Definitely post war. Dug?

Waterbury started using the notation "co's" (instead of just co.) in 1943, after their business expanded as a result of WWII.

Nice looking buttons, but my thoughts immediately jumped to replicas, although I have seen a few genuine examples in that good condition that were handed down within family generations.

Not replicas but probably Citadel buttons. They use them up to this day.

Great observation, Mangum. A quick Google verification.


These look like cuff link style, but there are numerous example/photos of Citadel buttons out there.
