Definitely cool.. I’m sure someone will be by soon with a positive identification.

Maybe it stands for Rifle regiment? Just spitballing.

Thanks for sharing!

I found it in my Warren Tice book of buttons, It’s Actually RB on the face and is represented as a Georgia military button for “Republican Blues”, Savannah from around 1860.

Page 276 for anyone following along.

A quick search shows that items from the republican blues are fairly rare and valuable. I seen a complete front/back button listed on eBay for $1100 bucks.

Congrats again..

Good eyes, that B looked like an R to me...

I initially thought it was a RR also, it was only after finding it in the book that I noticed the subtle difference.
