Hello

I just found this button and am delighted ,it cleaned up really , and it is my first really nice find
I know nothing about buttons

It was kindly ID by Washington inaugural buttons website. as an Albert's OD 08: RV 35:
1816 officials Diplomatic buttons

After cleaning it, I noticed that the sculpting on this button is different than the one featured on the website, the Olive branch, eagles head , arrows and tallons are all different.

just wondering are there may different versions of each of Alberts classifications?
or do they have different ID's,

i would really appreciate any input or information on this piece

Nice find. Sorry I can’t help with the ID.
 

Congrat's to you on a really nice button.
 

Thank you for your input
I got a response from a collector regarding why each sculpting and detail can slightly differ

"She is a nice find. Replacement buttons with federal type insignia can vary from manufacturers. These garments were all custom ordered and tailor made for the individual"
