Paris & D Dore wasn't listed in my backmark reference unfortunately. The Eagle button is a General Staff Officers button, likely Civil War period, but would need the backmark to confirm an accurate date, definitely mid 1800's

That D Dore is a mystery, I cannot find anything about the maker at all, thanks for the info on the eagle button, much appreciated.

From the pic the D Dore button appears to be a flat button with raised letters. Using the chart above, what is the closest match? If it dates to at least 1820s-30s, it would be a very early D Dore button - and maybe the company will give a reward in exchange for it 8-)

That would be something, really curious if and when they made buttons. Strange there isn't much information. Thanks again for all your help.
