First military button

[Elvis]

I found this button in an area where U.S. troops trained in 1898 before shipping to Cuba for the Span-Am War. This was my very first button.

Thats a great button! Nice gilt still remaining. I bet there are more. Keep hitting that area.

Congrats, Your Button Is In Great Shape, It Could Be CW As The Buttons Were The Same As In Span Am War. Just A Thought. trk5capt...

trk5cpt, it is possible to be cw, but the back is so corroded, you can't read the backmark. It was found in an area where both were. With the gilt still intacted so well, I just asumed it was Span Am. Thanks.
