Texas Star Button Indian Wars Period

[GeneralLucas]

I reside in Texas and here there are many collectors that collect Texas buttons including myself. The main interest centers with the Republic of Texas and Civil War period buttons and these command high value. Post Civil War buttons have a low value even though a small amount were produced. Here is an Indian Wars period Star button from what I know and please correct me if I am in error. I am even unsure as to the maker.........

The same design but in silver is still worn by the D.P.S. troopers.
