Hello, my first time in this forum, allways been interested in the civil war era, This is my only civil war era find , a infantry officer's coat button , found out here in iowa on an old homestead where a chaplin from the war retired. One of the few chaplins from iowa i'm told . big statue of him in the local graveyard:)

Thanks Dave, yes i agree, a nice button, and a back-mark that reads as it should. That button looks so nice from a dug example, you want to make sure it is period. And from the backmark, it is my opinion that it is. Again, a super button find. Happy hunting, gary
