War of 1812-Light Artillery 1st Regiment button

Hello everyone. Well just got the finds from another outing at Button Hill cleaned up. Just basically rinsed and brushed. I dug some really nice Flat buttons, Tombac Buttons and a button that I need help Id'ing. This one has me stumped. I have found a British War of 1812 button at the Site. This one is different. The button appears to have an I inside of a Circle with a Script letter W, It is a fancy W it appears. I haven't seen one on the internet, but I know one of you button gods know what it might be. You guys are the best Button Id'ers on the planet. I had a good 3 hour or so hunt. I needed a little down time so I did some diggin. The relics were coming up nicely. I love digging these buttons off of button hill. I will post the picture of the button and I hope one or more of you guys will help me Id the button. Hope you enjoy the pictures and I will work on a video I took over the next couple of days. Thanks guys. zaxfire69

Haven't cleaned it enough to see the makers mark. The button is really fragile and I don't want to ruin it by over cleaning it. I like it just the way it is. I'm afraid I'll damage it. I might could dry brush and toothpick the back of the button enough to I'd makersmark.

Not a big deal, so not worth messing with.

I know this is a blast from the past, but I managed to clean the front of the button a little bit. Still not 100% sure on exact date. Still has a little gold gilt left after all these years.
