Here is a version of this style of button that you don't encounter that often. This is a beautiful non-excavated coat size version of the Confederate Staff Officer's coat button. On the face it has the clear droop wing style eagle that denotes serving as a Confederate staff officer. Around the border it has the stars and a lined background. This button has the original back intact with shank. It has the correct Civil War backmark of "W. DOWLER SUPERIOR QUALITY" which is the mark of the William Dowler Company of Birmingham, England. This is the style listed as CS7 in Albert's button book and CS207A1 in Tice's button book. This version is much tougher to find than the standard Manchester backmark. This fine button would have been imported through the blockade to be sold by the high quality retailers. This would have adorned the front of a Confederate staff officer's coat that would have been proudly worn by that Confederate soldier. It is in very attractive condition and is a must have for any Civil War Confederate button collection.
