Here is a Fine Displaying Dug CS127 Confederate Lined -C Cavalry Coat Button ! The front shows no cracks or damage of any kind, and the lines in the letter -C show very well. There is one very tiny push, right in between the ends of the -C, but it is barely noticeable. The button is actually darker than my picture, wearing a smooth dark brown patina. The reverse shows a blank back, with a plumb patina, and intact though slightly tilted shank. 23mm. Recovered near Cumberland Church, just a few miles from Farmville, Virginia.

Here's a Beautiful Non-Dug CS5 Confederate Staff Officer’s Button! It still retains most of its original gold gilt, which has toned down to a pretty golden brown now. There is absolutely no damage of any kind, anywhere on this button, and the eagle surrounded by eleven stars device shows well. The reverse shows a period correct “ Extra Rich [dot] Treble Gilt [dot]” quality mark, with a solid inner circle, and a dotted outer circle. The shank is intact and upright. At 19mm diameter, this is the medium size of this pattern, and sometimes called a “vest” button. A Great Displaying Confederate Staff Officer’s Button !

Here is a Decent Displaying Dug CS36 Confederate Staff Officer’s Coat Button ! It’s the pattern with the eagle facing left on a lined field, encircled by eleven stars. It has no pushes or cracks and a nice green patina overall, with a bit of rust around the eagle’s head, and hints of gold gilt in several of the lines, and around the stars. The reverse shows a mottled plumb color, with enough of the maker’s mark legible to tell it was, “H T & B Manchester.” The shank is still present and tight though tilted to one side. I Sold this button once, and it was returned. Before posting it again, I put some baby oil on the rusted areas and attempted to remove some of the rust with a wooden toothpick. Quite a bit came off, but in the process, I poked a tiny hole in the outside of the eagle’s right wing. Re-Photographed the button to show that. It is hardly visible from the front, but can be easily seen when turning on edge. So, this button which I once sold for $350 is now available again, for just $220 ! Recovered near Batesville, Arkansas. 24mm. A Very Nice Priced CS36 Confederate Staff Officer’s Button !

Here is a Beautiful Little CS27 Confederate Staff Officer Cuff or Vest Button ! It has no cracks, pushes, or damage of any sort, and retains a good portion of its original gold gilt on the front, very nicely highlighting the eagle device. The device is an eagle looking right, on a lined field, with a wide border that almost makes it look like a three-piece button. The reverse shows a blank, deep channel back, with gilt still remaining in the channel and intact though loose shank. There is some chipping around the edges but button is still tight and strong. This particular pattern was only manufactured in this size, about 15mm. Recovered Tennessee. An Uncommon and Superb Displaying CS27 Confederate Staff Officer’s Button !
