Could use some I.D Help on this button

[Hardy]

Found this one a while back , Yet never did get a possitive I.D. any help would be great

the back mark is "WIEN" A crest on top and a W on the left side of the shank and a roman #2 on the right. the roman 2

could be a "H" ?

wein is in austria.... does that say s. wein ?

No S , but i did find a simular back mark on this 1800's Iran/Austria button thats selling for $150.

I think if I can get the Crown Identified , Then the problem would be solved

try this as a link to that button that has a simular back mark

 

[Hardy]

I dont think its Generic Crusader , it was found at a old Military camp that was used for the past 200 yrs until 1920

 

[trikikiwi]

I agree with Crusader, the crown is a generic design. It looks theatrical if anything.

I agree Iron Spike , That back mark is not all that easy to find listed and its history of the Company , Who they made buttons for

and types made. Before WW1 some guys that joined Malitia units had uniforms made with their own out of pocket expences and

this could be a civilian button used for that purpose , the area that this button was found was used for training troops. Civilian

button ? Maybe , but info on the manufacture company would be great

Yeah that's good whiskey Cool crown match

 

[kyphote]

Why is this case closed simply because RC Cola has a crown in their logo? Did they make buttons, too? Maybe I'm missing something.
