Need help nailing down ID for a Pre CW button

[Goes4ever]

I was going thru my trash in my pouch and found this crusty little slug. Took it inside and cleaned it up. Looks like a beat up flat button. Never found a flat button with an eagle. Looks like the same eagle as on CW general service buttons. Dave Wise on facebook says it is definately PRE CW he says 1820-30 and another guy says it is 1812 war period.......so not sure which exactly because I searched online for two hours and cannot nail a positive ID, the back is toast, all I can make out is stars going around the shank area. Found a lot of similar buttons but NONE with eagle facing this direction, all I see is ones with eagle facing opposite way

The best I can tell with these old eyes, it looks like GI65B in Alberts button book. I would say it is between 1812 and 1820. Check that crest and see if there is a letter in it. Also it looks like you may have a back mark on the button. If you could read it that would help tie it down for you. Nice button.

thank you, I squinted hard but just cannot make out the letter on the shield or any backmark, I tried hard!

Several of the infantry buttons have the head facing that direction here is an 1835 federal infantry button
