I found a few of these yesterday at an 1800s. site. Measures 3/4” across. Anyone know anything about who and where these were made. TIA

I would guess it's just a nice fancy civilian button from the early-mid 1800s. Don't think you'd be able to figure out a maker with the generic "Rich Orange" backmark. Cool find!

The lettering on back appears to read "Orange"...a button which may be Imperial Orange...produced in the 1800's
