Here is an interesting button, I am not sure if it is military. It is gold plated I think, any ideas?

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 
Cool button!! Thanks for sharing!!
 
It may be an 'R. (Richard) Robinson & Co.' which operated from 1834 to 1848. They made almost exclusively for millitery and state militia.
 
I can't find that exact backmark in any of my reference books. Going by the raised lettering on a one piece button I would date it no later than the 1820s. In my humble opinion it is a civilian button and a very nice one at that.
 
Very cool button. It has an interesting back mark off strike. Awesome find and keep it up!!!
 
that is way cool. Love the design and off-center back mark. I hope you are able to get a definitive ID!
