✅ SOLVED Early Fouled Anchor Navy Button

[cannonball]

Yesterday I found this button on an early site. It is 16mm, gold gilt with no back marks. I see similar buttons on the internet that are RN captains buttons late 18th century. There are so many different styles. Can any of the button guys elaborate? Thanks for any pointers.

Please post a picture of the back so we can see the attachment type.

Royal Navy Captain or Commander button 1774 to 1787. This was the transition button from that with the Tudor rose. There were apparently many makers of this button. Some with rope, some with chain. Yours has the hatched anchor, some did not. Yours seems to be in excellent condition with plenty of gilding remaining. Congrats! I have found one, but it is considerably roached out.

This is the button British Captains and ship Commanders wore during the American Revolution.
