This one is a beautifully designed original vest size 18.5 mm version of the Civil War Confederate Navy button. This is the style with the anchor in the center atop of 2 crossed cannons. Below the anchor and cannon are the magic letters "CSN" for Confederate States Navy. It has superb detail and excellent gold gilding remaining. What makes this one extra special is that the button was converted by a jeweler so it could be worn as a broach. It has had a golden back with a bar style pin added. It makes you wonder if it was converted for his wife or widow to wear as a memento of their sailor who was off at war. This is a wonderful original Confederate vest size navy button made into a fine piece of jewelry.
