This artifact, in very good condition overall, is a 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. Button retains no original gold gilt on the face. 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. Face appears to have been coated with a thin clear sealant. Shank is strong on back side and button exhibits a light but clear backmark of "S. ISAACS CAMPBELL & CO. / LONDON / 71 JERMYN. ST.". This original Confederate infantry script button is a great English-imported specimen and would make an excellent addition to any Civil War button display or Confederate-focused collection.
