Oh yeah!! Nice early one. Is that pewter?

If so, might want to take some steps to preserve it.
 
im pretty sure its bronze or copper.. it's slightly greenish.. and kinda light
 
great piece of history in that button .it looks like the scripted A on the eagles chest as well , just found one like it about a month ago
