button question

Stan Milgram · Apr 12, 2015

I found this button today at a muster field which goes back to Revolutionary War through Civil War. We've found lots of colonial and post colonial coins and military relics here. It is either lead or pewter, as it is heavy and came up in the high pull-tab range. I'm wondering what era it might be from, or if it is even legit. They probably have done reenactments over the years. On the other hand, the field hasn't been turned and it was at the same depth as the older stuff we're finding. Thanks.

Looks good.. but i never seen one like that before..
The A goes through usually. .
I have found a few reenactment ones and the look different. .
I hope its real..That would be a awsome find....
If you can change your title, to usa button you will get alot more looks and respondes..
Someone will know for sure.

It does not look real, probably from one of the many reenactments that took place over the years.

Yes, you're wasting lots of forum space in many places. Find a real one would ya!

BTW... I don't think you can hijack a thread with a replica because there's really nowhere for it to go.
