View attachment 2134440View attachment 2134441View attachment 2134442Nice button! I believe that is a military corps button from the war of 1812… I don’t know much more than that, except I’m pretty sure I t has been posted on Tnet before…probably multiple times before. The first time I saw the button, I fell in love with the design, timeless and classic! As far as any specific military unit/regiment etc I have no clue, but someone on here will help you out! Good luck!👍🏼

Villgenut is correct and without a backmark probably earlier than later.

Thank you. I wonder what coating it has that seemed to protect it for so long. The dirt here in North GA is very mineralized and eats most stuff up.

As stated by Villagenut, it is a 1 piece artillery corps button, the size at around 14+ to 15+ mm makes it a "cuff" button, if it were a "coat" button it would be around 20+ to 21+ mm.
