Trying to date a button.

[Recoveredmol]

Hey guys.

I found this two piece button that I believe to be French origins.

It's a copper alloy with what looks like gilt plating. The back plate is made of iron.

I'm having a hard time finding information on two piece buttons with an iron back plate. Have yall found any buttons like this in the fur trad era?

Thanks

Posted on your other thread that 2pc buttons are mid 1800s.
