✅ SOLVED CW BUTTON ID Help! Confederate Calvary camp unknown 2 piece button

[Patriot Relics]

Hey guys,

Hit a CW battery site that has produced 2 script Cs, 1 script I, and a few CW relics. Dug this interesting one today- anyone able to identify it...no backmark, 2 piece, copper. Appears to depict a laurel on one side, 5 arrows, with a script...6?



Thanks for the help.

Where is Cannonballguy with the ID?

Was just thinking that myself

Sort of reminds me of a musician button

The reason I have a reputation for nearly always knowing the ID is that I only reply when I'm 98% sure I do know the ID. In this case I don't recognize the emblem on the button, so I didn't reply.

What I can tell you is that it is definitely a civilian-usage button. Notice that the "background" of the emblem is a very finely crosshatched design which resembles cloth fabric. No American military button I've ever seen, in real-life or in any book, has that version of background (or in other wording, "field").

I see the five spears, and a floral design on the crosshatched background to the left of the spears. The swirly thing superimposed over the spears looks like a single letter of Old English script, or perhaps German Text script.

Thanks for the reply Cannonballguy and as always your expertise. My gut was that it was period, but civilian...could still have been used by a soldier but no way to be sure.
