Rough But Real! Republic of Texas Dragoon Coat Button TX9
Click on an image to enlarge
Here is a button that you don't see offered every day! This is the coat size version of the button that is listed as a TX9 in Albert's button book and as TX216A1 in Tice's button book. Tice states that these buttons were produced to fill in order for Texas, which was placed in 1837. These durable buttons were used for quite some time, as I have had a few of them over the years that were excavated in Civil War campsites. The face of the button has the lone star in the center with the large "D" in the middle to denote the dragoon branch of service. The dragoons were a heavily armed strike force of cavalry. Around the top edge of the button face it would have originally had the bold letters "TEXAS" but it is no longer visible. On the reverse of the button it has the maker's Mark of the Waterbury, Connecticut firm of Scovill. The shank is intact and is solid as a rock. This is a rough but real original coat size Republic of Texas Dragoon coat button. These buttons can bring multiple thousands when in fine shape. You can own this one for a fraction of that price.
