Button ID

My brother found this button a few years back in Maryland. We think it is pewter. Can anyone give me an idea of what it might be?

I was going to suggest Maryland for the M but could think of anything for the FB, still even if I saw the E I would still not have guessed. I knew it was RARE

Im not an expert on these old buttons but the first thing that popped in my mind was Maryland Revolutionary War button. I cant quite explain it but I just had a feeling. Everyone involved thought it was something special. I guess experience does that.

Thanks to IP for hooking him up with the right person.

It doesn't look like the others listed but if it's old enough, and you can't say what it is, you gotta check into it because new discoveries still happen today.
