Early gorgeous silver plated button with backmark of an eagle, flower, bow, ribbon.

Last time out I dug a flat button with a backmark I have never seen before. This button is beautiful.......... silver gilted, a little bigger than a quarter. It does have a mold seam which dates it to be very early as well. 3 other buttons were found around it... one of them being a Tombac button. The backmark has an eagle, a bow, and a flower and a ribbon with the words solid plated. Anyone ever seen a backmark like this before?
