The European-made button is correct in a Civil War Navy collection. Joshua Starkey began using this particular pattern in the 1850's in London, specifically for the American military market. This is an overcoat-size button.

This button is non-excavated and has sustained some gilt loss. But where the gilt remains, it really shines. An extremely affordable option for you since we got a great deal.
