Hello!
Hope everyone is doing great!
I am an avid collector of military / uniform buttons... The history behind these buttons, and the soliders that wore them, is amazing...!
If I can be of any help to anyone here on this topic please don't hesitate to drop me a line... it is truly my pleasure to help!
Here are some pictures of examples in my collection. This will give everyone an idea of what I collect.
Military buttons have thousands of different designs, but these pictures are a good metric of what to look for...
Most military buttons will be brass, or silver, and have one or more of the following:
1: A specific military design -- like an eagle for example
2: A design specific to an exact unit -- like a harp, or beehive
3: Most will have a backmark with a manufacturer's name -- for example: scovill, horstmann, firmin, etc, etc..
4: They will have initials of the unit on the face
5: They will have a state seal on the face such as New York, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, etc, etc, etc...
4: Lastly, the buttons will look like they "could" be on a uniform...
