This is an excellent non-excavated coat size Confederate staff officer's button. This is the style listed as CS5 in Albert's button book, which we sell. These buttons were made in England and ran through the Union naval blockade. It has a beautiful droop-wing eagle on the face with excellent original gold wash remaining. The back and shank are intact with a clear "EXTRA RICH TREBLE GILT" backmark. This is the same style button that is on the coat that General Lee wore when he surrendered at Appomattox. The coat is now on display at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. You'll never own that one but you can have this beauty for $245.00.
