Confederate lined R coat button

Would this be a “sharp shooter” button? I’ve never seen one of these, very cool, nice find!!!

Joe, yes. It is from a sharpshooter.

Recently learned that there were around 130 listed riflemen in Virginia and of those, very few were issues uniforms. Hence the rarity.

The 12th addition was copyrighted in 2010 and the price is about the same as JoeG quoted.
