Can anyone ID the double headed eagle button in my above post. It's a 1 piece concaved type with no backmarks. I think it's late 19th C?

It is also very similar to a WWI Russian Imperial military button.

The non-excavated brass 1-piece button in the photos below was identified by the seller as a Russian Imperial Army Ordnance Corps button. Its backmark dates it to 1895. (Note, sometimes an internet-seller's info is incorrect -- it MAY be a "general service" army button rather than an Ordnance Corps button.) I do not know how many years backward into the 1800s the SPECIFIC emblem on its front was used on Russian Imperial Army buttons.

Thanks, Dad found an old post of mine where I had a similar button needing IDing.

I had a strong hunch it was late 19th C, so that fits & I'll put it down as Russian.
