Texas civil war button?

I stumbled on a spot today found a few keepers. The interesting find for today was this Texas button. It was found in NJ, a long way from home. Any
info would be great.

Thanks, Don

Pretty darn cool finds, funny how things travel and show up far from home.

Don if you can see the backmark I can id it for you. Tough thing is that there's a lot of this style button that's very similar. Measurement would help a bunch too. Nice find. The LC looks nice as well
Some of the Texas buttons are pretty valuable

Ahab, I took a pic under the E Scope to magnify but still unreadable. I measures 5.75 around and 4.38 high give or take a little(calipers).
Thanks,
Don

Nice finds.

That button should clean up nice an you should be able to get a back-mark on that one!!

Very cool

Thank you. Yes, it is funny how a button from that time period could find it's way 1,500 miles East. Why couldn't it be a CSA buckle...

Looks like a Texas Militia button?If so it is a decently rare button!

You don't see to many Texas buttons. I hope this turns out good for you!

Clean the back off and if you can post another pic so we can zoom in on it

I don't find a lot of these type of buttons. Any advise on how to clean it?

Thanks ATpro5. I was thinking the same thing, don't see to many of these.
