This is an excellent original Confederate artillery coat button. This is the fanciest version of "A" button that was produced during the Civil War. It is known to the collectors as the Manuscript Artillery. The face of the button has the intricate and ornate lined "A" with the smooth background. Most of these buttons never had gilding like this one but the detail is nice as you can see in the pictures. It still displays beautifully. On the back of the button it has the clear "HALFMANN & TAYLOR MONTGOPMERY ALABAMD" backmark. That's right they misspelled Alabama on the backmark. On the later ones they left Alabama off entirely but a few of these made it through. This one has the marking extremely clear and is a neat piece to show your relic collecting friends. The original shank is intact. They imported many quality items such as this button from Europe to sell to the wealthy Confederate soldiers. The button would have been actually made in
