This artifact is a super condition, non-dug example of a two-piece CS army infantry button as worn on the uniforms of Confederate soldiers. The brass, coat-size button is of two-piece construction with a border. The handsome, glided, convex button retains over 75% of original gold gilt on the face. Button is excellent plus and is classed as a CS177A in A.H. Albert's reference volume. The circular, 22-mm, 2-piece brass button exhibits a single letter "I" completed in lined manuscript old English form all displayed on an unlined field. Back side excellent with shank strong but shank is very slightly moveable. Has a sharp and distinct backmark of "S. ISAACS CAMPBELL & CO. / LONDON / 71 JERMYN. ST." RV20. This original Confederate infantry script button is a wonderful specimen and would make an excellent addition to any Civil War button display or Confederate-focused collection.
