Z5778 British Marines / Navy Cuff Button

Description: Nice excavated one-piece pewter button. This one appears to be a water recovery and is missing the iron shank. The face has a fouled anchor in the center with a pie crust border. This variant has a raised ring around the outer perimeter on the back. It was probably manufactured this way to strengthen the edges. This style of button is known as the Pre-1802/1803 British Marine pattern depending on where you look. This same pattern was used during the Revolutionary War until the "Royal Marine” pattern was issued. These were also used by the British Navy in Canada up through the War of 1812.
