Found this yesterday at an old plantation site in South Carolina. A few internet sites have ID'd this cuff as a 1808-1820's South Carolina State Militia Rifles button and a few have said it's a Militia button that has nothing to do with South Carolina. This is where my research abruptly ends. Were these buttons used by other state militias? Were they only given to South Carolina militia members? I know the "Hunting Horn" signifies rifles or rifle regiments. The backmark just says Double Gilt. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find more information or does anyone know the history of this button? Thanks in advance.
