About two years ago, I found a plastic bag full of brass buttons in the depths of our garage. They were post Civil War, and at the time, I didn't care much about them. Recently, I dug back into the buttons and decided to learn about them. The majority of them are Second World War U.S. Navy buttons, followed by post Civil War general service buttons. A few of them stood out. Here they are!
World War One Russian buttons. I have one more stashed somewhere.
1895 Russian grenadier button. I also have a gold one with crossed cannons.
World War One Imperial German button.
World War One Imperial German Navy button. This was field (sea) modified by the soldier. Originally, this button had a back. It was lost, and the soldier punched two holes in it so he could still use it.
World War One Imperial German company button. This would have belong to the first company in the German army.
World War one Imperial German army button.
Btw, that's moss, not my living room carpet.
