Clay Lord Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I recently bought this button (see attached) identified by Record of AMERICAN UNIFORM and Historical Buttons Bicentennial Edition by Alphaeus H. Albert as an America's Civil War Louisana Crescent Regiment button. The maker's mark is A.U. Wein. I have since been told that it is actually Ottoman. Can anyone help me with an ID?

Clay Lord Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm not certain if its Ottomanbut do believe it is Turkeyhave some similairthey came from europeSeems that you are correct. I found this web site with the same button on it. http://www.diggerhistory2.info/graveyards/...tk-uniforms.htmI am a Civil War collector so this button is of no interest to me. Is Ebay the best way to sell something like this, or is it even worth listing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
