GOAmules Posted February 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2020 I found a box of military buttons, and spent the morning separating them. Some were Federal Civil War, some USMC. These I cannot figure out. The one near the center with the eagle seems US Navy. None except the little one on the far left are marked on the back, it says Brevet something, so I'm guessing French. They are mostly tin backs. Oh, and the bottom two seem to be possibly early American...or Royal Navy. Any ideas if any are military, and US?

GOAmules Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted March 13, 2020 I had thought the bottom two were older, but no replies yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QED4 Posted March 14, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2020 The one with the eagle is the early, pre-1940, style but it dose not look quite right, it may be a commercial copy, would have to see the back to tell. A few may be foreign navy but most if not all look to be commercial blazer buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
