Need help with military button ID

[detectorben]

Found this today in a turn of the century park. Having trouble dating this button. Anyone have an idea on age of this button and what uniform it would have been used on?

I checked my CW states button chart and it looks like the offical Nebraska button is different but that doesn't mean it's not a certain regiment button. Sorry but a really great find.

Thanks! I have never found any military buttons before.

Thanks! And thanks for checking as well. Hopefully someone will have more info on it.

Found one online quite like it. Supposedly a 1875 Nebraska patriotic button. https://m.ebay.com/itm/NEBRASKA-ST-...on-Civil-War-Vets-GAR-Favorites-/202359949774

That is a Beautiful Button indeed with great detail. As you can read on the back mark it is a Scovil button. They mass produced many buttons for the military during the CW and on after the war. Congrat's on a great find. It's a great find whether war period or not. Well Done.
