5-1 finds!! British sword handle from Rev. War? and script "A" Confederate button

Went to a spot that has been producing well for me and Penniesmine, he found a SC state seal button there last week. I found this sword handle that I need help ID'ing and this Confederate button. Any ideas on the handle would be great and also how much is the button worth?

Can you read the back marks for us? Can't quite make it out. Waterbury?
IMO script buttons are more rare than block buttons. If this backmark identifies it a CS button Coat size IMO north of 300 I may be wrong but that is what I think at this point.

Is it S. Issacs Campbell co London?

Nice going on the script A, but the find of the hunt was definitely that sword guard. Looks like half of a clamshell guard, but could be either 18th or 19th century. Regardless, a very cool find!

Dude...Man....Script Artillery Button in great dug Condition. Very cool
Awesome Sword Guard as well ,With big brass like that still in the ground ,Y'all would have to drag me off that site.

Was the SC Button in as Good a Condition as the A ? If so ...You lucky Low Country Dog. LOL

Exciting finds! Congrats!

I think I stand corrected as I now do not believe your sword guard is of a clamshell design. And I'm also leaning toward late 18th century although I'm no sword expert at all. Below are 5 pages of sword pics from Newmann and Kravic's "Collector's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution". I don't have time this evening to go through all these, but if you click to enlarge each pic you might be able to see one that resembles yours. Hope you can figure it out.
