General Officers Staff Button

[bocephus99]

Recovered a decent button yesterday. I can't seem to find the exact variation of this button with the shield and the exact arrow placements. The Staff buttons I have seen have the inside arrow lower than the next one to the left of it?? It's a Scovill and Waterbury.

Any help would be appreciated!!

There are literally hundreds of die variations for the General Staff buttons, some unknown variations will pop from time to time. Your is an 1860's variety as the backmark tells the tale.

Wow, great find. Very rare to dig a button with that much gold wash left on it. Congrats
