WTG on your find. Someone will be able to identify that button for you by tomorrow I bet. Welcome to T-net and I look forward to your future finds.

Is there any back mark? If it was 19th century military it would almost certainly have a makers mark.

Can't tell from the scan, is it a two piece button?? or one? The design "fits" with Albert's NA 112 which has so many variants it is unreal. I have a few that don't exactly match up but are close.. without a back mark you have a big range in dates... late 1800s through 1941...

Nice buttons!! I found of Phoenix button not too long ago here in VA. Where did your buddy find his? Evidently they are more common out on the West Coast then back east where I am. Yet, I know of a couple others being dug up here in Virginia, but they are by no means something you find everyday!!

Keep Digging,
