Help with another button I.D.? Age?

[dieharddigger]

Went for an hour hunt tonight after work at one of the spots I have hammered. The finds are getting slimmer,but I managed this button. Does anyone have an i.d. or age info. Hard to photograph,it is domed,three arrows and olive branch?
Thanks, Steve

Your button looks to be a general staff button, dated from 1832 until 1902. See Alberts button book, page 291 and 292.

Yes, it is a general staff CUFF button. Nice find!

Yep. Those "muffin-style" buttons (with the flat rim) are usually either General Staff Officer's buttons or State Seal buttons.

Congrats to you both on a great find.
