Fairly Modern Military Button of a Dress Green Coat.

I have four of them. I think they started making them right Before WWII and they are still made. If you are going to pitch it, please send it to me. I would like to have one with the Gilting on it for the display I am working on. All mine are old and have no Gilt left. I will pay shipping!

 

[Mr.Jody]

[Mr.Jody]

What are they made of?Aluminum?Brass? reason I ask, when my MD went off, it showed aluminum and an iron signal.

 

[mastereagle22]

Brass with gilting on it. At least that's what the ones I have found were.

They came in on my EX II the same as a key.

 

[Mr.Jody]

Gilting? You mean the goldcolor?

 

[mastereagle22]

I meant to type gilding.
