Offered here is a lot of 15 buttons; 13 coat size and 2 cuff size. All are two-piece Massachusetts Volunteer Militia buttons for Infantry. These are post 1865 buttons.

Volunteer Militia”.

All of these buttons have nicely gilted faces with the stand-up shank intact. All have the above mentioned “arm and sword” and text on the face with a large, raised letter “I” in the center (for Infantry). They are backmarked: “* D. EVANS & CO. * ATTLEBORO MASS” with an inner ring of hyphens.
