  Here is a Beautiful Dug CS126 Confederate Cavalry Coat Button ! It is the Big 25mm pattern with a stippled letter -C, and the front is still perfectly convex showing no pushes cracks or other damage and wearing a beautiful slick dark brown patina. The reverse shows the shank missing in action, and a legible maker’s mark of, “ H T & B * MANCHESTER.” There is one tiny hairline crack running from the -T in Manchester towards the hole where the shank was, but the back is still entirely tight, as is the whole button.
