Great find!
Looks very similar to the AY52 button. The left wing is very different looking from other examples.
I'm sure its just a variation I haven't seen. Artillery button from 1808-1821.

Any help ID ing this button I found today is apreciated. It measures just a hair under 7/8 inch across. TIA---Merf
