I dug this Script military button. I've researched the internet and have found similar ones, but not quite identical.

Please note:
I was not sure what side was face up, so I took 2 pictures of up and down)

Sorry to have to say, your find is definitely a Civilian-usage button, not a Military one. It does not appear in the famous book "Record of American Uniform and Historical Buttons, with Supplement" by Alpheus H. Albert. Nor in the supplement to THAT book, by Daniel J. Binder. Also not in the huge Warren K. Tice button-book.

A major ID-clue is your brass TWO-PIECE button's perfectly-flat front... which no American Military "letter buttons" have.
