The button that you found is listed on page 36 in Alberts Button book.ID # GI 79-C-4.Infantry;
1-piece convex,plated.I believe the button was made March 27th 1821.That is a very nice find.
Congrats on a great button with great detail.

I have no knowledge to speak of about buttons, but the reverse of the found button seems to have mold marks which gives me the impression of molded plastic
Could it be a modern replica?
I hope it's the real thing - it is certainly an awesome looking button.

This one is most certainly the real deal, and it has been ID'ed correctly.


That is a Top Notch button find. Beautiful!
