The button with the eagle is a militia button, 1814 to 1820 or so. Very cool

not sure if it is or it maybe an early repro
the back of the button says patented best strong
the front has 13 stars

I'd say with that backmark it's good and not a repro. I'm not sure that particular button has be reproduced. Some of the early buttons were reproduced by Scovill in 1952 and will have a R 52 on the back. I have seen where people have tried to remove the R52 from the backmarks and try to sell the buttons as original. I really think yours is good though.
