thanks dude! the militia button is circa 1820-30 I believe.and the draped bust is pretty toasted in the date area but looks like 1803?

Can't pinpoint the exact variety of your button. But it mirrors a "pewter" example, made in Conn, circa 1808. Yours is obviously a wonderful example, made in brass. They don't get much better than that! Still looking for my first Fugio. Someone may pipe in on the variety of that Conn. AWESOME! Hogge
