How old is this button and is it an official naval button or civilian?

Do you have any info of where you found it? With no back mark it might help.

It's failing condition and then the loop on the anchor being inside the stars, I believe it's a Civilan/Fashon button.
Military Navy buttons that I have seen the stars run through the loop of the Anchor, plus it seems this button is made of cheaper material resulting in it's failing condition, where a Military button would last longer with it's brass design.

just my opinion, Bill
