Retired Army Noncom Posted October 12, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2017 Has anyone heard of these tunic buttons before? A M-1889 tunic came with three small buttons with those identity words, the rest were Sigmund Eisner NJ buttons. Both makers are identical on the outside, the backside the FYTRA are older. All buttons are rimmed. Thanks Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Army Noncom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted October 12, 2017 The 'Y' could be a 'V'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted October 12, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2017 Could the F be an E and the Y an X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Army Noncom Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 12, 2017 Could the F be an E and the Y an X? The 'F' is pretty prominent and no space at the bottom of the Y or V to make it an X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag Posted October 13, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2017 May be a weak die stamping where the letters are incomplete - have seen that many times on button backmarks. "EXTRA QUALITY" is very common on buttons, a generic stamp that would have been used by multiple manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's is the only correct explanantion and I'm sure that is what Kurt was getting at also. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
