Nice finds and a great looking button. There appears to be a fair amount of gilt on there still. That one might clean up really nice with aluminum jelly.
CREADE THATS SOME DIE HARD FINDS YOU GOT THERE . ANYBODY WHO CAN GO OUT IN THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IS A DIEHARD HUNTER. NICE WATERING BIT AND GUN BAND , BELL AND THE ARTILLARY BUTTON IS SWEET. STAY REPLENISHED MY FREIND.......
Sweet button , I have never found an A, C , or any other letter other than an I "Infantry " of course.
Clean it up some more if you wish , I would leave it as is , until I knew my Cleaning Skills were Dam Good.
It to me Looks Great Now Shank & all.
Horse gear from Civil War areas is Cool as well.
