Confederate States General Service
CSBTN GS 1. Confederate “J.E.B.” Stuart Cavalry Officer’s Coat Button.
Off-the charts rare button that was picked up on the Second Manassas VA. Battlefield as described on the accompanying envelope. An authenticity and condition report done by John Sexton also accompanies the button. He states that in spite of the push, the detail is exceptional compared to the few known survivors. I have only seen maybe two others and they were excavated and pushed. This one retains a lot of original gold plating. In my opinion this gemstone is the keystone for any Confederate Government button collection. The battlefield provenance is a boon!

Confederate Navy
CSBTN CSN 1. Confederate Navy Coat Button.
CS 68, 23.5 mm. Perfect condition with “E. M. LEWIS & CO. / RICHMOND. VA.” rmdc. This rare Confederate Navy Ship button looks fantastic with very strong details. You can see the stars surrounding the ship and it has a killer patina. I cannot tell if this is a non dug button, battlefield pickup or one that was dug or eyeballed decades ago and cleaned. It came from a very early non dug button collection that had many buttons from battlefields picked up shortly after the war by veterans and souvenir hunters. Either way, it is a killer rare button and would totally fit in a non dug collection for less than $10,000, which is in the range of the last one I saw sold for.
