✅ SOLVED Mystery Button

[nkellam22]

I found this button in a field in Luxembourg.
There appears to be some sort of an eagle on the front.
The part of the back mark which is legible reads "R & SHEYER RLIN"
I assume it is some sort of military button but I do not know where from.
I also do not know how old it would be.
Any help appreciated.

Thank You!

Does that say "Mohr & Greyer" and "Berlin" on the back of the button?

It does now that you point that out but it most defiantly says Sreyer instead of Greyer
Thanks for the reply!

It is Mohr & Speyer /Berlin. It is a wwii German military button.

A more-specific ID of your button:
It shows the eagle emblem of the Prussian Empire. (Note the crown above the Prussian eagle's head.) Prussia was the pre-20th-Century name for the area now called Germany. Your button was worn by Prussian Army NCO's (non-commissioned officers) in the latter-1800s until World War One ended. Defeat in that war ended the Prussian Empire, the emperor (Kaiser Wilhelm) was removed, and Germany became a Republic.

Looks like you nailed the ID, TheCannonballGuy! Nice find, nkellam!
