Z8045 Confederate Infantry Coat Button by William Bird of London

Description: Choice excavated Confederate Infantry button manufactured by William Bird of London and imported through the blockade. This example has a stippled, old English "I” on the face. Tice states that the William Bird buttons are the rarest of all British-made Confederate letter buttons. The entire button has a dark, consistent patina. The shank is off by about one degree. It would be hard to upgrade this example!

Backmark: Blank with three rings.

Measures: 21mm

Reference: Albert's CS178V, Tice CS1218A3

Recovered: Spotsylvania, Virginia
