wisconsin button to go with my wisconsin badge!

[diggervet]

Last week I posted a picture of a wisconsin veterans badge. This past Sunday I went back to the same spot and found a perfect companion, a Wisconsin cuff button!! The 36th Wisconsin regiment was active in this area of Cold Harbor and a memorial was placed in the vicinity. I went by and included some pictures of the monument. Very eerie to think that this button and badge belonged to one of the soldiers listed on this memorial. I will be back next weekend to this spot and hope to pull out something half as good! Thanks for looking!

That's cool!! Very nice button. I wish i could dig a Tennessee button to go with the TENN PIN-LOL. WTG, Quindy.

Nice Wisconsin digs! I've seen the badge before, they made them for several states and if I remember right, those were sold to soldiers by the camp suttler therefore making it a period item, not a veteran piece. I'll try to find the info on it if I can.... Check out this link if you haven't already seen it...... 33rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Message Board - The "WIS." pin. I see now there is debate about these, hope I don't stir up a hornets nest
