Thank you very much. Know of any other links that have more information.

Jbbj, go to the following webpage and scroll down to see several of the "U.S.I. Reg't" button version you found, with prices. Yours seems to still have nearly all of its original Silverplate, which is quite unusual on for a dug military button... so William Leigh may be interested in purchasing it. At the very least, he can tell you a lot about it. His "contact" info is on his website's homepage. William is a personal friend of mine, for over 30 years... he is trustworthy. Tell him Pete sent you... he'll know who that is.
