[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 609179, member: 13534"] It's hard to make out the letters on it to narrow it down. I'm guessing that is an R on the right. What do you think the other one is? They had 'Volunteer Rifles' units in various towns and had something similar to this button - around 1860 - 1880's. Was the button found in SA or WA, by any chance? Here are two from there. Not the same as yours, but similar in design.

There were a lot of different ones depending on the unit, and without that other letter it's hard to narrow it down. Good luck finding that one. :) Cheers, Megsy [/QUOTE]
