🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Revolutionary War Era Button ID

[multifloraexplora]

Found this lead button along with a KGIII and shoe buckle frame on a homesite near Valley Forge, PA. The composition is 100% cast lead, feels like a musket ball in hand. Anyone recognize the design?

Well, due to the construction, it was made in America. Both the Loyalist forces and some American cavalry used a button with a similar device of a man riding a horse on it. No one has been able to pin them down 100%. It's a great find, and I'd guess American cavalry/dragoons.

Very historic find for sure.
Great assessment by smokey as well on your cuff-button find.
