Button

[Mississippi]

I purchased this button awhile back when I was in London. The reason I bought it was it had a civil war backmark (Extra Quality) and I did not have Albert's button book with me at the time, when I got back stateside I looked and could not find this button listed. It measure about 23mm from the picture you proably can not make out the writing it has IN HOC SIGNO VINCES.

Means - In this sign thou shalt conquer.

With the cross & motto seems to be of a religious connection - thats all I got.

It's a button from the Knights Templar fraternal order (also known as The Commandery), a part of York Rite Masonry.
