I found this at a beach/park site that also produced many coins from 1900-1950's, Silver spoons from the 30's. Found on the south east coast of Florida, where it is said to have held military camps during WW2. I've never found any buttons before, and I have searched ALL over the net to try and ID this myself, and no luck. Sorry for the condition, I have yet to clean this as I do not know what it is or how to safely remove the sand and grits stuck to it. From what I can make out with a magnifier it has a shield with a diagonal banner with stripes in the banner, and what looks like a knight helm above the shield. It is much smaller then a standard uniform button so I'm guessing it was on an arm cuff or something.. Again I am a newbie to these kinds of finds so please forgive me. The shank is molded on as part of the button itself and it has two holes, one on top and one on the bottom. If it is any help, there are traces of red thread on the broken shank. Any help with Identification would be much appreciated!! Also if you have any suggestions for safe cleaning of this would also be a great help!!
