The same site that gave up the Rifleman button with Script R gave up this Virginia button to Skunemonk, on a roll there...any additional details on this appreciated, thank you.

That might have been a spoils of war kind of deal or are you close to a prison? But regardless a awesome coat button. Keep at it!

Thanks again for posting the pic's bergie and for everybody's replies. I found this one and the riflemans button on the same day, they are the only old military button's i have ever found and i sure have been looking (for about 5 years). I always thought i'd have a chance to find a civil war union eagle button. Never did i think i'd find a confederate button (if that's what it is)? I'm really happy with this find, definitley one of my top finds. Can anyone tell me how to clean the the back it's green and i would like to see if theres a back mark.

THANKS

We would have to see the back to be sure but it looks good to me, nice looking confederate button.

nice button Bergie.. look at this site:
http://www.civilwarbuttons.com/csstatelist.htm
and look at cs120. It looks like the same button, and may be a rare one.
good luck..... cwhunter

cwhunter_1, thanks for the link to that button site..

cwhunter_1 cs120 is really close, but take a look at cs125 ? It matches up pretty well. Im still trying to clean the back without losing anything to get the back mark. Thanks for your help.
