Re: The Early Military Button project
Can you add a picture of the reverse?
Because of its size it may be a button from the 1770s.
I have gone through the book by Don Troiani on uniform buttons used during the American Revolution.
Large size military buttons are 23-25 mm, so your button does not seem military.
