I pulled this button from a card of foreign military buttons. Grandmother left short notes with each button. I have scanned them extra large so you can view them closer. The note with this button reads: R N * L before 1789 ?. This is a one piece brass button with a loop shank. The button measures 21mm and has no backmark. The front of the button has some dark tarnishing but I will leave it to buyer to decide to polish or not. I have no more information on this button. I am not a button collector but rather have inherited this collection along with some very good notes to identify them with. I try my best to describe them based upon the notes that are with them, button books, and the basic knowledge I have of the materials. So if you ever need additional information or if you see an error in my listings, please inform me of this. Thank you. Shipping rates have been lowered. Shipping discount policy.
